First of all: I'm just a user of CRUX; I very probably won't implement 
anything of this. So ignore me, if you like.

I don't think that adapting a distribution-agnostic tool to CRUX is a good 
idea. Why not choose the good, old Unix way of doing things: write a small 
tool that does exactly one thing: look at installwatch's output and append it 
to the CRUX database. A tiny bit of shell script and/or sed magic will 
probably do the trick.
