There's a great simple tool called whichcd 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/whichcd
which comes on an rpm. It knows about all packages on your system but it 
does not yet know about fedora. I've already written to the author asking 
him to upgrade the package. In the meantime, if someone wanted to go ahead 
and make the mods (I'm pressed for time) I'm sure we'd all be grateful.
