- Rather than using a POSIX named semaphore use a POSIX lock (lockf(3))
for pkgdb for writers. Writers that cannot acquire the pkgdb lock will
get EAGAIN rather then being blocked.
- Due to using a file lock we cannot write the pkgdb every time a package
is being unpacked, configured or removed. Instead pkgdb is only written
at the end of a specific point in the transaction (unpack, configure, remove)
or via xbps_pkgdb_unlock().
The variables to set cachedir, rootdir and metadir have been
changed to "array of chars", this way there are no extra allocations.
Update clients accordingly and bump API version.
To put a package on hold mode:
$ xbps-pkgdb -m hold foo
To unhold the package:
$ xbps-pkgdb -m unhold foo
To list packages on hold mode:
$ xbps-query -H
This also close#12 from github.
The list of required external deps is now confuse, libarchive and openssl.
libxbps now includes a wrapper for proplib prefixed with xbps_ rather than prop_.
xbps-fetch and xbps-pkgdb in one utility.
Bump XBPS_RELVER to 20091124-1.

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.
