I meant we'll can't make the search target so might as grep-awk-find 
etc. tools is. E.g. I want to know how many files port has:
grep -v @dirrm pkg-plist | wc -l
(OK. It's may be not very accurate.)
But But idea is we don't know what info user want to get. With pkg-data 
user need to extract data first. Even if extracting tools will easy to 
use he need to know how these tools work (command lines, options etc.).

OK, I can't say for most people. (Really I feel no need in it with my 
two 160Gb disks at my home computer :)
I'll ask in russian mail list.
