Yeah, that's kind of what we have now except without the summary of
regular tags. (I was trying hard to keep the line under 80 columns while
still putting the file name in the output in case someone was trying to
parse it later with a script or something, but having the file name is
probably not horribly useful.) The difference is that right now it does
it per-package. I'll take a look, regardless of the outcome of this
discussion, at what it would take to do it per-run instead.
