Well, the parser only parses a fraction of the metadata, just enough to 
figure out which nodes go to which packages and what their mtime and 
size should be. By doing so I'm able to recycle the nodes and not have 
to regenerate them.

Importing yum seemed like overkill at the time ... or were you referring 
to some other code I should reuse?
