Awsome.  I have a little bug here, the window doesn't refresh correctly
when I go back, e.g. when I go back from a category with many packages,
all the lines are filled and when I go back to the category list, the
lins at the bottom that should be blank are not erased.

Also, I usually expect typing 'Enter' to enter a sub-folder in such an
interface.

While it duplicates a piece of sushi's functionality on NetBSD, it is
obviously useful on other platforms.

I think it could be made a replacement for sushi's own package manager,
so I suggest you add a way to copy the UI of sushi, so that sushi can
invoke it instead of having its own package manager.  Then it would be
a very useful addition to the pkg_* tools.
