Is it possible to extend 'package' without actually hacking the puppet
code. I'd like to do this:

package { "httpd":
  name    => "httpd",
  ensure  => "present",
  check   => "newer",
}

My goal is this. For every package I have in puppet, I'd like to check
to see if I have a newer version in the repository than I have on the
server. If that's the case I'd like to record that. (Probably in a log
file). This will allow me to produce a report of packages that need
upgraded. I can't just "ensure => latest" because it violates our
change procedure.
