Sure the text is more centered, but the text is also highly
redundant/useless.  Do you really care about the exact url of the
recipe?  All the urls are pretty much the same.

I'll change the fonts.

Why wouldn't you use the version+revision number to compare it to
installed programs?

What is the authoritative date/time of a recipe?  I've been using file
mtime's, as that seems to be what the Gobo site uses.  But I don't
like that solution, as there are problems:  sometimes revesions -rN
and -rN+1 have the same mtime.  Noticeably the dates inside the Recipe
file don't seem to match the mtime.
