It certainly could be used standalone.  However, its primary use is to
be part of a larger test suite -  a modular checkpkg.  It doesn't do
certain things, for example it doesn't extract the package the way
checkpkg does.  To be standalone and useful, it would need be armored
with the unpacking code.  The unpacking code is already there in
checkpkg, perhaps we can reuse it?
