for md5 sums, rcsid's and comments in the future.

register a list of other packages with which they conflict (via the
-C option to pkg_create), and they will refuse to install (unless -f is
specified) if one of the listed packages is already present.
* Update documentation for the new feature as well as fleshing out some
existing documentation.
* Bump PKG_INSTALL_VERSION so this feature can be tested for.

using new `@comment DEPORIGIN:...' directive. This would allow us to make
many neat things including:
- easier binary upgrades;
- source upgrades without using external tools by simply extending
bsd.port.mk and pkg_install tools;
- mixed-mode upgrades (source + binary);
- depreciate and deorbit silly +REQUIRED_BY files in the near future.
This feature is no-op until appropriate bsd.port.mk patch is committed, and
even when it is already committed packages generated will remain 100%
compatible with old set of pkg_install tools (module all those neat
features, of course).

non-backward compatible changes in the format of packing list and handle
them gracefully;
- fix a longstanding issue with symlinks handling. Instead of recording
checksum for the file symlink points to, record checksum for the value
returned by readlink(2). For backward compatibility increase packing list
format minor version number and provide a fallback to a previous behaviour,
if package in question was created with older version of pkg_* tools;

- don't record MD5 checksum for device nodes, fifo's and other non-regular
files.

Use '' quotes instead of `' to delimit names of files and packages in
warning and error messages, because it is easier to cut-n-paste name in
question that way (single click) without confusing the shell. And yes,
I know that it is less eye-candy...

- fix cosmetics to shut-up compiler in -pedantic mode (axe several unused vars
and provide default clause in several switch() statements).
No response from: -ports
concerning where they're taking place.
Switch from [r]index() to str[r]chr() functions, which are more ISO
compliant.

the option in pkg_create. Now preserved files start with a . and are
named .<filename>.<pkgname>.backup so that their purpose is more clear.
Note that just using the preserve option without proper pkg_deps
is also foolish since packages being deleted in the incorrect order with
preserve on can generate some odd results.
before replacing them (using pkgname to make this hopefully unique).
Delete also moves them back, if they exist, resulting in a package
which can be "backed out" with reasonable safety.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
later at pkg_delete time to verify that you're deleting what you added.
This, of course, does NOT cover the case where a file you still need
hasn't changed! That's a tougher problem to solve, and this provides
only the minimal amount of safety belt. MD5 checksums are stored in comment
fields, so packages produced with these tools are backwards compatible with
the older ones.
2. Fix a long-standing bug in pkg_add where the failure of one package in
a multipackage installation (pkg_add *.tgz) would blow you right out of
the water. Ick.
