Link to the repo:
I find that talking directly to the subversion repository
(gar.svn.sourceforge.net) is faster, for now I've linked to it.

Readability of lists:
I've addressed Peter's suggestion to expand the runpath and needed soname lists.

Table view:
I like Dago's idea to create a table with sonames and runpaths, but
haven't implemented it yet.

Mechanism of submission:
For now, there's only the tool to generate the HTML code.  I'm open to
suggestions what the submission mechanism could look like.  (A
command-line tool?  Something similar to submitpkg?)

Keeping the unpacked files:
Currently, the extracted package is deleted as soon as statistics are
collected.  I understand that you would like to open the files
directly in the browser.  I wouldn't like to keep the unpacked files
around.  If you would like to have a shortcut to jump into the files
on a FS, maybe there's another way?  There could be a separate
mechanism to keep unpacked packages.  Another idea is to provide a
couple of copy/paste shell lines to help the reviewer get started with
the unpacking:

wget <url>
gunzip <file>
pktrans <gunzipped> ./ all
cd <pkgname>

Where the <url>, <file>, and other bits would be pre-filled in the HTML.

The updated report is now up.  I've also added a couple links, for
example from needed sonames to file search on the website, and from
the 'depends' section to package pages on the website.
