Brilliant, thanks. I'll do the GUI bits of this functionality really
soon. I really don't want people resorting to sudo killall packagekitd
to terminate a download, I would much rather a nice clean abstraction.

Ken, can you do the conary bits also please.

I'm also about to commit a patch so we can get two types of
information, the status (what we are doing now) and the role (what we
were asked to do) to allow the libnotify dialogs to be a little more
sane. I've updated the conary, yum and dummy plugins, so please pull
in a few minutes. The apt backend will need patching, and my c++ foo
is weak. Tom, could you handle this please?

Thanks guys,

Richard.
