1) "action"="list_categories" (optional argument: "repo"). This will list all the known categories within the given repository (local repository used by default if none specified). WARNING: Just because a category is listed from here does not mean there are packages existing within that category. This might be corrected later on to only return categories where packages reside.
2) "action"="list_repos" (no other arguments). This will scan the pkg repo config files and return any repos that pkg is currently aware of. NOTE: All of the repos returns by this function are valid as the optional "repo" argument for the other sysadm/pkg API calls.

1) Add a new optional argument: "category". This option will be used if the "pkg_origins" argument is not, and limits the results to packages within the designated category.
2) Add a new optional argument: "result". This option may be set to anything other than "full" to restrict the information output to just the basic/simple information (no sub-categories of info such as "dependencies","requires","depends","options", etc...)
Example JSON request:
{"action":"pkg_info","category":"x11","result":"simple"}
These argument will result in a basic listing of all the packages within the x11 category. (name, version, origin, www, arch, comment, etc....)
{
This system reads the pkg database directly and returns any relevant information about the pkgs requested.
Note: The "repo" input is optional (defaults to "local"), and the "pkg_origins" will become optional here soon as well (going to make it default to listing all pkgs if the pkg_origins variable is missing/empty).

that data coming in will be mixed with several messages at once,
lets parse those properly, and also implement some sanity checking
to make sure we aren't being flooded with a potential buffer overflow
