That would be neat. I've used *_SPECIFIC_PKGS to update a whole bunch
at a time (see the top level Makefile), but the list of
category/package's had to be constructed by hand. I don't see an easy
way to get the category where the package actually lives out of the
package database, which you would need to construct the list automatically.
