Best I can do after some initial hacking. Are there any assumptions we
can make based on package name to trim the list so we don't have to
check all PKGBUILDs?

This is done without a checkout of the full repo, using svn list and svn cat...

$ ./pkgfind 3ddesktop #first package in the repos
Repo scan complete in 51ms
Package -> 3ddesktop/

$ ./pkgfind bash
Repo scan complete in 3809ms
Package -> bash/

$ ./pkgfind libpano13 #median package in the repos
Repo scan complete in 44170ms
Package -> libpano13/

$ ./pkgfind zsync #2nd to last package in the repos
Repo scan complete in 90997ms
Package -> zsync/

These numbers are just going to grow...
