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.

A depends on dependency B then dependency A will be in all cases listed
before B, so ``pkg_add -r'' will fetch/install packages in the correct order.
Previously dependencies were sorted just by its names, which is why
``pkg_add -r'' never actually worked properly.
To be usefull, hovewer, this fix requires that all packages have been
rebuilt, so it will take some time until users would be able to feel
posititive improvements. For the same reasons it is desirable to propagate
these changes to the 4-stable package building cluster *before* 4.3 ports
freeze, so packages for 4.3-RELEASE would be properly prepared.

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.

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.
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.
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.
in the packing list, or the argument to -p if it is specified, before
the requirements/installation/deinstallation scripts are called. This
enables the scripts to be written to work on the final installation
destination, even if the user uses -p to override the package's default.
