Done now, but it'll take the usual 6 months or so to make it into the 
distributions...

Yes. I'll have a look at the Ion package and try to come up with 
something more robust.

Oops. It doesn't work with Python 2.4. The new version (0.4) should fix 
that:

$ 0launch --not-before=0.4 \
    http://0install.net/2007/interfaces/FeedLint.xml \
