trylink: explain how to modify link and drastically decrease amount
of padding (unfortunately, needs hand editing ATM).
*: add ALIGN1 / ALIGN2 to global strings and arrays of bytes and shorts

When installing a new package with dpkg dependencies are checked
correctly. But when I try to update an existing package, the
dependencies are checked against the old package, not against new
package. Thus the new package can break dependencies.
things like xasprintf() into xfuncs.c, remove xprint_file_by_name() (it only
had one user), clean up lots of #includes... General cleanup pass. What I've
been doing for the last couple days.
And it conflicts! I've removed httpd.c from this checkin due to somebody else
touching that file. It builds for me. I have to catch a bus. (Now you know
why I'm looking forward to Mercurial.)

bloatcheck is completely useless as it sees -79 for this, which is bogus.
This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!

init_archive_deb_data()
We want to filter for data.tar.* in the AR file not the TAR
file, else we get nothing.
all_control_list()
Make the 'extensions' array of control file names a global so it
can be used in unpack_package as well. Name the global
all_control_files. Don't hard code the length of
all_control_files but instead used sizeof.
unpack_package()
Only unpack the control files we are interested in (from
all_control_files). Extract the data.tar.gz into / rather than
the current directory.
dpkg_main()
Configure packages in a second pass so all the packages being
installed are unpacked before configuring.
Some purely cosmetic changes:
header
update list of differences since two of them are no longer true.
The .control file is no longer stored as a result of this patch
-- it was redundant since the info is in status. New packages
appear to be added to the end of the status file now rather than
the start.
remove_package()
Make message printing optional, so we can avoid a redundant
message when replacing/upgrading a package. When we do print
stuff then include the version number.
purge_package()
Print "Purging xxx (yyy) ..." message like the other actions.
configure_package()
Add "..." to "Setting up" message to be consistent with other
actions.
