not too hard to do - if you take the code from yum-arch you can do 70%
of this.

1. get a list of all the rpms
2. start going through each one and make a couple of dicts:
 (name, arch) : [(e, v, r), (e, v, r)]
 (name, arch, e, v, r) : pkg filename

3. then go through each (name, arch) in the first dict and if the len of
the list of (e, v, r) is > 1 then compare each (e, v, r) and remove the
one(s) that are older.

4. then go through the second dict using the first and copy out the rpms
that are newest.
