Title: Many people have been waiting for an API for a while

Since everyone is busy, however none of the code has anything 'secure' (since it's OS) and since the code on github practically serves as an API in of itself for those who are savvy enough, I propose simply adding app-wide json support. Which is exactly what the plugin does.

This way people wishing to query a list of CakePHP packages or maintainers can do so and get a json response. I already am capable of searching the directory using packages/autocomplete?term=whatever but after getting a list of results, I am unable to more accurately retrieve their associated git urls.

PLEASE add this, I already coded a plugin-installer into BakingPlate and have been planning to implement CakePackages integration for a while. I also will be updating BakingPlate to Cake2 in the next few days so that some of it's more core features may still be used.

Set it and forget it :)
