GLOBAL
======
- get ride of "ORE" tags.
- ORE tags - are there any left?
- Automake is a PITA. We should switch to just autoconf and hand written
Makefile.in's
LIBALPM
=======
- review public interface. There seems to be a lot of complication
for consuming front ends for no reason. I have some ideas for a "new and
improved" public interface, but it would be a drastic change.
- review errors handling (globalise pm_errno usage, improve error
meanings)
- documentation (doxygen? man pages for public functions? ...)
PACMAN
======
- review how things are displayed in the frontend (normal display,
verbose mode, which usage for the library log callback, debug levels, ...)
- add .lastupdate files support for "files" db downloads
- review progress / transaction even subsystem

ADDITIONAL IDEAS FOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
============================================
- idea from Christian Hamar: have a /var/lib/pacman/{repo}/.cache file
that basically contains the output of `ls -1 /var/lib/pacman/{repo}`. This
cache file could be used in -Q and -Si/s operations to speed up package
listings.

== This is my custom TODO file ==
* gensync: get all info from packages instead of PKGBUILDs
for now, we only need to check the PKGBUILD in case of a
'force' option
* gensync and makepkg: support for 1 _or more_ file integrity
algorithms at a time (mostly done).
* pacman: add pactest cases/functionality for all -Q operations and make sure
the output is sane
