This is great, I always planned to write a similiar application, but my desire 
was not big enough, that I found the time. But I also wanted to track the 
contents of the packages to make it easier to spot files on a system, that 
are not well known, e.g. malware. But I guess once your application is in a 
usable state, it can be easily added. :-)
