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;

- 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.

This sort of violates "the unix way" but it stops people from whacking

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.
Formerly, there were limits on both the number of files (hard-coded into
the program) and the number of characters (because of the ARG_MAX limit
in exec(2)). In this new version, the filenames are passed to tar through
a pipe, using tar's "-T" option, rather than on the command line.
