+1 - as long as it does not do automatic AUR package installs, there is 
not problems from me.  You are not the first to include a tool like this 
in [community] (e.g. arch-backup).

Although, as Xavier pointed out, I want to eventually get useful scripts 
like your pkgfile script into pacman-contrib.
