I haven't really noticed any issues with it from a speed point of
view (too busy noticing it not working when I add packages) so I
didn't think about a C version. That update-alternatives thing on the
other hand I have definately been thinking about redoing in C when I
get a chance - it's painfully slow. But yeah, it should be pretty
trivial to do populate-volatiles in C and that would remove the need
for the cache thing altogether.

For now I'm probably more concerned with fixing the things that are
broken then making things work faster ;)
