I'd like to see raa-install show me a version number in searches. For
example, after reading the announcement this morning about the latest
REXML, I used raa-install and searched for it. I got two hits:

rexml
rexml-stable

It would have been really handy if there had been a version number so I
would know. I assumed that the 2.7.0 was so new that it wouldn't be in the
RAA yet, but I still wanted to check.
