FWIW, one thing I've always wanted to see on those pages is the list of
categories, and, perhaps, the sdesc (or even ldesc), as otherwise I always
have to go edit my local copy of setup.ini to get them.  Not very related,
but there are changes planned to the generation scripts, I thought I'd get
this in...

P.S. I could submit a patch for the "package-cat.cgi" script, but I have
no idea what generates the listings -- "upset", maybe?
