wcarchive. This needs to be updated when:
(a) The directory structure changes on wcarchive
(b) getosreldate() has a new significance
(ie. get ELF packages/get a.out packages)
(c) Branches are changed around
As we stand right now, 3.0-postELFday and 4.0-x all point to the same
directory, but when 4.0 starts to have its own packages, this file will
need to be changed.
The remote option allows for automatic package fetching and installation
using the package repository found on wcarchive. Naturally, this site
can be overridden with a enviornment variable.
This code uses getobjformat() and getosreldate(). This means when some event
causes the package to be fetched to change (such as e-day) the logic also
needs to be changed.

o Tell user when an FTP url is being xferred rather than being silent.
This sort of violates "the unix way" but it stops people from whacking

packages if @exec/@unexec commands don't contain any %[fFB]. Also
enable @exec/@unexec that have %D if the installation prefix is known to

a couple typos, and consistent double-spacing after sentences.
This is actually a spinoff from the "ports-current discontinued"
blow-up some time ago.

plain 0 should be used. This happens to work because we #define
NULL to 0, but is stylistically wrong and can cause problems
for people trying to port bits of code to other environments.

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.

Delete also moves them back, if they exist, resulting in a package
which can be "backed out" with reasonable safety.
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.

This, of course, does NOT cover the case where a file you still need
hasn't changed! That's a tougher problem to solve, and this provides
only the minimal amount of safety belt. MD5 checksums are stored in comment
fields, so packages produced with these tools are backwards compatible with
the older ones.
