Subject: [OT] distro independent program installed?

hi all, i'm working on a distro-independent source based package management system written in ruby and i'm stummped on one thing.

is there a general, distro-independent way to tell if a package has been installed? i want to be able to support any distro regardless of FHS.

thanks,
