Just a nitpicking comment: if there's a database, you can access it
with or without a special tool. You just have to find out where the
database is located ^_^ .
BTW, Pacifist will let you do pkgutil actions from within its GUI.
And be careful: there's a "Pkgutil 1.2" which is for Solaris. Similarly
unless you've studied the code carefully I' guess the Python script
referred to recently is not intended for OSX package control.
