The former should work pretty well. If I've missed any obvious aliases
yell and I'll add them. The latter is 80% implemented, but I don't use
delta-rpms myself and it was left for somebody else to do. It would be
a nice little project for someone wanting to get to know Zif
internally. I can write up exactly what needs to be done if you mail
me offlist.

If delta-rpms support is a must-have then I can probably finish it in
a day or so. No biggie. :-)

I agree. I've just merged the GIR generation into master, so hopefully
it would be possible to do things like use Zif from PHP and Javascript
in the future.
