FYI, when you do submit the final patch, don't use the -b option next
time- we don't care how long it gets, but we do want the final
indentation to be right.

I took your patch and applied it, and did some further work from
there. (making the functions static, fixing indentation, etc.) I fixed
the bug that broke pacman -Q in the same way it was fixed in the sync
code. The next step here is to refactor the common code between the
sync and query code into some unified functions. It shouldn't be too
hard to do, but we do need to find a place for it. /me thinks

It is sitting in my GIT working tree for now, it will eventually get
pushed to the master branch on al.org. Thanks!
