For each SlackBuild, the README needs to be displayed along with the
file list, it contains important information. It's also missing from
the list of files for some reason.

You have the mysql pass so go ahead and create the db. If you lost
it let me know on IRC.

dates (along with all the other info) should be pulled from the db
while browsing the repository.
