I have pushed some code to feature/package-autosuggest after cleaning it
up a bit.  The main issues right now are 1. that when clicking on the
suggestion to install a new package via the button in the major mode,
the UI wants to confirm this by pressing enter in the minibuffer which
is not automatically suggested 2. that the database of suggestions isn't
populated properly.  I'll probably write a script to scrape ELPA for
suggestions and generate them in the right format.
