What are the optional packages? Right now if I type 'sage -optional',
I get a list like this:

NOT INSTALLED:
biopython-1.44
database_sloane_oeis-2005-12

(etc.)

It would be very helpful if I got something like this instead:

NOT INSTALLED:
biopython-1.44                               Python modules for
bioinformatics
database_sloane_oeis-2005-12       Encyclopedia of integer sequences

(etc.)

This information should also be present on the web page

  <http://www.sagemath.org/packages/optional/>

I found some info by selecting individual packages from the page

  <http://www.sagemath.org:9001/optional_packages_available_for_SAGE>

but even that is pretty spotty, partly because some aren't documented,
and partly because the list from 'sage -optional' doesn't match the
list on that web page.  I still can't tell what "ace-5.0.p0" and
"fricas-1.0.2" are, for example...
