The problem, for me, is that I want a packages file will all the 
information, put that in an sqlite DB for the feedbrowser and strips 
things out. The feedbrowser only knows about http urls, so access to the 
ipk files itself isn't possible.
I suspect there's an easy solution for that, but I haven't given it a 
lot of thought :)
