Cabal API: getting the online package list

[Frank Murphy]

I was poking around the source for cabal-install while investigating a
(hopeful) GSoC product. One thing seems a little odd to me: is there a
reason that, for example, getAvailablePackages isn't in a separate library?
Or is similar functionality in a different package than Cabal already and I
just haven't found it (doing a search for "cabal" on Hackage didn't appear
to turn up anything)?

For context, I'm trying to build a graph of install dependencies for an
(uninstalled) package.

Thanks,
Frank
