Right, I know your script. But I fear it does not behave like the one used by 
archlinux.org. e.g. maintainer-infos are missing and it fails on some scripts 
using too much bash-scripting. ;-) And you cannot search for included files. 
To achiebe this you would hae to parse the built packages.

So I think reinventing the wheel would not be a good idea here.

Yeah, a xml-export would be really great. But for now an official dump of the 
package-db would be very helpfull. And this could be done within minutes. 
Just create a cron-job which dumps the package-table and save it to a public 
accessable place.
