I've noticed that the package-grep.cgi script can somwtimes take a while to complete, which is not surprising given that I've read that sourceware.org tends to be overworked. Adding a programmatic query to this would seem to just add more work for the poor server. Would it make sense to dump the "tar tjf" output of all the packages to a single static file on cygwin.com in a daily cronjob, and then just grab that file and search locally? Or is something similar already in place to facilitate the "cygwin.com/packages/foo/foo-1.2.3"-type pages?
