Can someone provide a tool that given a package name simply prints the category 
or cat/pkg, or if ambiguous, prints the multiple cat/pkgs or returns an error 
code?  I don't care what it's written in as long as it's relatively quick.  I'm 
sick of depending on udept (which is an incredible tool but a lot heavy for a 
simple shell script) just to get a simple category.
