Well, the main problem would be that it's written in Haskell which makes it
impossible for me to contribute ;)

So… Since I have hard times understanding code, I will just ask questions
here:
* Does it use libsolv? I guess not.
* Does it handle rich dependencies? I guess not.
* How does it know Provides if package is not built yet?
* How does it handle conditions in specs?

Note that mizdebsk already had such tool for quite some time.

Also, I am planning to add this package to Fedora: before doing that I am
