I'll do this one (assuming no objections)... gives me some satisfaction
to blow dem files away.

Ditto.

Patches solicited for:
RELEASE BLOCKERS:
 * Remove *empty* directories on uninstalls. (done?)
 * Correctly overwrite -r--r--r-- files. (done?)
 * Going back, changing the local cache dir, and going forward again
does not
   correctly reparse inis in the new dir.
   Reproduction: Choose an incorrect cache dir, go back, correct it.
   Chooser shows all packages in Misc.
 * "compress_bz::error called" appears in the log every time a package
is
   installed, even if everything works.
