Speaking of messy looks, thanks for getting rid of the 'pages' while showing
available packages. Listing everything in one list without breaks looks
heaps better.

That would be a good start. <- and -> may look cool, but they're not very
clear when one doesn't know what they stand for. I'd still prefer the actual
words building and comparing, but this seems a good compromise.

Actually, doing --checksig on some packages gives me the same error (missing
keys), but adding the --no{gpg,pgp} option still breaks it. Maybe I should
report it to bugzilla.

As I said, perl is not my first language. This was just a quick addition to
keep GRAB from removing the downloaded and old packages. Since I didn't know
what the '@remove' part meant, I added the extra if around it instead of
using &&.
