I'm currently working on a sort of attribute store, where you can, well, 
store attributes for each solvable (as form of name,value pairs).  One of 
the attributes could be the installed size.  It's (planned to be) stored 
fairly space-efficient, and also will have a small query interface for 
searching (of course not as elaborate as sqlite).  See tools/attr_store* 
for the work in progress.

I wouldn't want to bloat the Solvable data structure even more whenever 
some new wish for an interesting attribute comes up.  It should hold only 
the information essential for solving the dependency problem.


Ciao,
Michael.
