The scripts package-grep.cgi and package-cat.cgi are available (at
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/htdocs/cgi-bin2?cvsroot=cygwin>),
but they rely on something else to extract the package contents.  This
something else is most likely somewhere under
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/infra/?cvsroot=sourceware>, but the
actual maintainers of sources.redhat.com may be able to point you to the
exact scripts...

See <http://cygwin.com/cvs.html> for info on how to access the above from
a command-line CVS client.
