0004835: pkgutil could display catalog meta data
Now that we are integrating more meta data in the catalog (timestamp, release name, etc.) it would be helpful to have an option for pkgutil to display this metadata via e.g.

  pkgutil --listcat
  pkgutil --showcat
  pkgutil --catinfo

to spare the need to manually look it up in the catalog files. Example output:

* http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/unstable [^]
  - Generated: foo
  - Release name: bla

* http://interal/overlay [^]
  - Generated: foo
  - Release name: bla

This could be amended with further information, e.g. number of packages in the catalog and whether a signature is present or not (and if signed, by whom).
