Thanks Jon, digging into the source of this (it's Python :-) to get the
list of possible fields for qf, I don't see where I can show the installed
status.

Also, while yum info shows in the "Repo:" line as "installed" if the
package is installed, and "From repo:" as the repo its from, "repoid" seems
to show the "From repo:" equivalent. So I haven't been able to figure out
how to show that.

I did figure out from repoquery itself (the man pages seem out of date)
that you can use --search to search ala "yum search" which is great.
