Qt is a low level database check, it only checks for existence of the files
(desc, depends, files) in the database.
I wanted to keep this check, and add more high level database check,
ie checking for missing dependencies, and missing or extra requiredby.

I don't know where this belongs, I originally wanted to extend Qt on libalpm,
but finally I decided to move it to an external tool.
If no one likes this idea, I can change it :)

Oh right, I didn't pay attention to this, I just copied testpkg.c and edited
it :)
I'm not sure how bad that is..
