Summary:                    pkgutil could display catalog meta data
Description: 
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).
