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).
MFC after: 6 days
allows for an easy way to backup old version of port prior to installing
a new one;
- silence compiler warnings by killing some unused variables and adding
all includes necessary.
MFC after: 2 weeks
- fix cosmetics to shut-up compiler in -pedantic mode (axe several unused vars
and provide default clause in several switch() statements).

Also, add a cross reference to pkg_info(1) in pkg_version(1). Finally,
in pkg_version(1), don't put a period at the end of the list of see also
man pages.

This is actually a spinoff from the "ports-current discontinued"

the option in pkg_create. Now preserved files start with a . and are
named .<filename>.<pkgname>.backup so that their purpose is more clear.
Note that just using the preserve option without proper pkg_deps
is also foolish since packages being deleted in the incorrect order with
preserve on can generate some odd results.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.

2. Add a "feature" to pkg_create (OK, OK, it's a miserable hack!) to get
it to dump its internal packing list out so that the `fake-pkg' rule in
bsd.port.mk can generate a more meaningful packing list.
1. pkg_create now has a -P argument for specifying dependencies on the
command line.
2. pkg_add will honor dependencies and chain-load them automatically if
it finds the required package(s) in the same directory as the package
that is being loaded. For best results, install packages from a directory
containing all the packages you'll possibly need
(like /usr/ports/packages/all).
2 remaining flaws:
1. pkg_add looks in one place (where you were when you loaded the primary
pkg) for depended packages. If you can come up with a search path scheme
that's not a total hack - be my guest!
2. Recursive dependency expansion can result in the name of a dep being
listed more than once. This doesn't bother pkg_add since it checks
for package existance with pkg_info and will skip already-loaded packages.
I don't know how/if pkg_delete handles this yet, however. I need to look
into it.
