Hmm, one downside to doing so would be that we'd have to then explain
how to do a similar grep for folks downloaing the CD media.  I don't
disagree with the idea of making the output easier to read.  I'm just
not sure if we'd be trading one minor annoyance for another.

(You'd probably be surprised how many questions we get on the subject
of verifying media. :)
