Is there a convenient tool available already for querying the meta data
of a package and displaying it in a nice format? I was able to get the
info with nix-env -qa --meta --xml, but the xml output is a bit much. It
wouldn't be hard to make such a program, but I don't want to reinvent
the wheel.

Use xpath and any scripting language? One of the Haskell libraries
(haxml?) provides an executable.
