Pat does this exact same thing on the installation CDs.  Inside each
disk set directory is a maketag shell script that lists the packages
(minus version, arch, and build information) with a short discription on
the RHS.  I think this is probably the easiest way to do this, but
probably too much work.

In fact, I'm moderately concerned that we are overcomplicating our
problems and focusing too much on making some cool database searchable
stuff and not so focused on making buildscripts.
