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.
