Description

As I've been thinking about package management, I keep thinking that modifying Pursuit to be more API-based would be a good thing, allowing fine-grained queries on the database which could be used by a package manager written in PureScript.

This might be a good thing to bundle with a move over to Postgres if we decide that's a good idea.

Maybe this could form part of a GSOC project, as part of a larger package manager project.
