This function returns and internalized dictionary from a package's metadata
plist file as specified by its arguments.
Update all code to use it where appropiate.
- There's no need to check rval for prop_dictionary_get_*, we are sure the
objects are there at prop_dictionary_set_* time.
- Avoid two chdir(2) calls per INSTALL/REMOVE run.
- Avoid using access(2) to check for existence of INSTALL/REMOVE scripts,
just try to run the executable directly and check for ENOENT.
* Add proplib-0.4.1 source and use it in XBPS. This is to avoid
an external dependency, so that we depend on the features of the
internal library. This also means that proplib is not required anymore.
* Added support to read/write gzip compressed plists by default, thanks
to proplib-0.4 that gained new functionality.
That means that from now, XBPS will be able to write compressed gzip
plist files for all metadata related work. This will vastly reduce
bandwidth required for fetching remote repo's pkg index file and
binary packages.

Some changes were made to the API when making the documentation:
- A few exported functions are now hidden, because they were only used
internally in the library.
- A few exported symbols were renamed to document them better than
previously.
- Cosmetic changes all along the way, as well as some fixes here and there.

libxbps:
- Moved repolist code to lib/repository_pool.c.
- Renamed xbps_{prepare,release}_repolist_data() to
xbps_repository_pool_{init,release} respectively.
- Moved regpkgdb dict code to lib/regpkgs_dictionary.c.
- Renamed xbps_{prepare,release}_regpkgdb_dict() to
xbps_regpkgs_dictionary_{init,release} respectively.
- Use a global reference count for repository_pool and regpkgs_dictionary,
this gives a substantial performance gain while looking for dependencies
in repository pool, among other things.
- Make xbps_find_pkg_* functions return errno and use it to detect
for spurious errors in code using them.
- Add code to detect when a dependency is already unpacked.
xbps-bin:
- Do not set pkg state to unpacked in the transaction, it's set already
while a package is unpacked.
- While installing or updating packages, it now knows when a dependency
is already unpacked and shows it as "unconfigured".
Bump XBPS_RELVER to 20091126.

checked for any spurious error, this should make the core more safer :-)

dependencies, as specified in blueprint "improved-version-matching".
It's possible now to require greater, greater or equal than,
less, less or equal than, and equal pkg versions, as well as using
'{}' and '[^!]' csh patterns in dependencies.
Code lifted from FreeBSD, thanks! :-)
Change XBPS_RELVER to 20091107 to match latest additions.
