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.

- fix harmless compiler's warnings (unused variables and missed prototype);
- before refusing to delete package because "there are packages installed
that require this package" check that packages in question is actually
installed;
- add new `-r' option to pkg_delete(8), which instructs it to delete not only
packages specified at command line, but all packages that depend on
specified packages as well.

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...

pkg_delete(1) as well;
- add a new `-a' option for pkg_delete(1) to delete all installed packages;
- add a new `-i' option for pkg_delete(1) to request simple rm(1)-like
interactive confirmation before attempting to delete each package.

names of installed packages;
- add new `-G' option to disable glob matching and revert to previous
behaviour (I have no idea why this could be necessary, though);
- add a new `-x' option, which instructs pkg_info(1) to treat supplied
arguments as a regular expressions.
For example:
$ pkg_info foo\* - displays information about all packages whose names start
from foo
$ pkg_info -G foo\*-1.1 - displays information about package named "foo*-1.1"
$ pkg_info -x ^foo.\* - displays information about all packages whose names
start from foo

this mechanism is only as secure as the contents of /var/db/pkg if you're
using it for auditing purposes.

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.
Running there you got any kind of strange errors from tar caused
by treating directories as tar files!
Fix it by adding new isfile(name) (check for reg. files) to simple fexists(name) calls.
Index descriptions are limited to MAXINDEXSIZE (60) chars. Any description
beyond that is truncated. Also, only the first line is displayed as well.
This allows pkg_info -a -I to be formated in two columns with one line
per package for easy reading.

-q turns on "quiet" mode, where informational headers and such are not
dumped, just the information.
-L Shows full pathnames of files comprising a package. With -q,
this can be useful for doing fileset operations, such as
"du -s `pkg_info -q -L foo_bin`" to see how much space package
"foo_bin" is taking up.
