Better integration with the gui updater.

I just updated fc6 this morning with presto enabled
(yum-presto-0.3.8-1.fc6) and i can see this : 
Size of all updates downloaded from Presto-enabled repositories: 1.4M
Size of updates that would have been downloaded if Presto wasn't
enabled: 12M
This is a savings of 89 percent
