I'll give it a try, but it looks like I'll have to patch the whole 
downloading thing fairly heavily if I am to make it such that it runs 
without human interaction.  I figure I'll need to:

        - skip things that have already been downloaded

        - only download those packages that changed since the last download

        - automatically retry mirrors

        - collect all exceptional cases that could not be resolved some place 
useful and send out an email w/'em

*sigh*  I wish there were 40 hours in the day!
