We did this in some but not all cases, assuming the 0 value coming out of

attributed to the proper place.
This patch also includes a few cleanups/performance tweaks- avoid calling
strlen() on the mountpoint directory string as much by storing this size in

In most (all?) cases, we will process all files for a given sync database

Shift some local variables around a bit to expose this to sync_db_read() and

On my system, this cuts calls to _alpm_pkg_find() from 20,769 to 10,349
