No, this is very different. We don't talk about rpmdrake itself
here, but grpmi, the thing with the small window which does the
download and actual install of packages. I don't think embedding
grpmi into a statusbar of rpmdrake is a great idea.

In the grpmi step, dependency is already calculated, so doing so
would require pretty much many changes.
