Some packages have revision numbers in the mini-FAQ. E.g.: perl 5.6.1r2. They
also have the revision information in the .ver and .dsm files in
$DJDIR/manifest.

DJ, perhaps there is some way of automatically extracting this information for
use in the ZIP picker? Maybe you could get it from the DSMs? Or manually from
the mini-FAQ, since there aren't that many packages in it.
