What about adding an "--inconditional-download" (or "--fetch" or what 
you think better), option?

i.e.: I want to install phpmyadmin in a TSL 2.2 box using php4.
If I do a "swup --install phpmyadmin" it try to also install php (5) to 
satisfy the given dependencies, so I need to do a "swup --install 
phpmyadmin --download-only --save-to /tmp" that fetch anyway both 
phpmyadmin and php.
Ok, it is a phpmyadmin dependence issue, but if I have an option like 
"swup --fetch phpmyadmin" that simply download the given packages can be 
simple for example get packages that I want to inspect before install. 
Simpler and faster than search the packages using lynx/wget. IMHO ;-)))

Regards, B.
