Doug Barton 463ef3703a Introducing portmaster with package support!
This is svn version r200206.

New Features
============
1. Support for the following new options:
	a. --packages|-P and --packages-only|-PP
	b. --packages-build
	c. --packages-if-newer
	d. --delete-build-only
	e. --always-fetch
	f. --local-packagedir
In addition to the new code this also involved making some existing
messages more generic, and customizing some others to be aware of
whether packages are in use or not.
2. New command line parser allows placement of --long-options
anywhere in the command line

Minor Tweaks and Fixes
======================
1. Make fail() less finicky about how the message is input
2. Start the process of deprecating -p since it isn't useful
any longer
3. Fix parsing of PKG_DBDIR so that we don't depend on it having
exactly 3 components. This also saves 2 external calls to cut.
4. For the --clean-distfiles[-all] options sort the list before
printing to make it easier to see when files are related.
5. Instead of repeating the tests on when to run read_distinfos()
do them once in the initialization phase then rely on whether or
not DI_FILES is set.
6. Improve some messages to make their meaning more clear
