A very common operation: is package foo installed? And in which version

A quick suggestion:
If you know the name of the package and want to know if it's installed,
use the pkg list operation:
$ pkg list SUNWjruby pkg: no packages matching 'SUNWjruby' installed
$ pkg list SUNWvim
NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION
STATE UFIX
SUNWvim 7.2.141-0.121
installed ----
Of course, if you don't know the name of the package, this approach
doesn't help.
And I might add, pkg list allows multiple packages to be specified and
with the new catalog work going in soon will be faster than grepping
through contents ...
As an example:
$ time pkg -R /mnt list SUNWipkg*
NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION STATE
UFIX
SUNWipkg 0.5.11-0.117 installed
u---
SUNWipkg-brand 0.5.11-0.117 installed
u---
SUNWipkg-gui 0.5.11-0.117 installed
u---
SUNWipkg-gui-l10n 0.5.11-0.117 installed
u---
SUNWipkg-um 0.5.11-0.117 installed
