If we use pacman's color theme and remove per-repo coloring does this script
still do anything worth keeping it around and fixing its bugs (try `pacsearch
pacman mirrorlist`)?  All that's left is searching both -Ss and -Qs, recoloring
"local/" red, adding "[installed]" to -Qs entries, and hiding -Qs entries that
are also in -Ss.  All but the last can be accomplished in a few lines of bash
using sed.
