having just learned about .par files the other day, and finding out how
really amazingly nifty they are; I heartily say 'Yes, .par support should be
integrated into pan'.

I don't know anything about .sfv files (yet). 

I also believe that the integration should just use external tools, which
are called by pan, as much as possible. (and pop up a nice, friendly error
message that the tool doesn't exist/can't be found, if it doesn't find it).
but you knew that already, right? :)
