I'm currently working on python bindings for alpm written in pyrex. While
working i found that declaring alpm_strerror as
char * alpm_strerror (void)
instead of
char * alpm_strerror (int err)
and then using pm_errno in the implementation instead of err, could make it
more bindings-friendly.
Dan: cleaned up and added void to declaration. Instead of replacing existing
function, add a new function called 'alpm_strerrorlast(void)'.

A bunch of changes related to my first "real" install of pacman-git into
/usr/local and trying to use it.
* Shift some uses of free -> FREE in libalpm.
* Move stat and sanity checks of config paths into libalpm from the
config and argument parsing in pacman.c.
* Fix issue where dbpath still was not defined early enough due to its
requirement for being used in alpm_db_register. This should be rewritten
so it doesn't have this dependency, but this will work for now.

Add some 'const' keywords all over the code to make it a bit more strict on
what you can and can't do with data. This is especially important when we
return pointers to the pacman frontend- ideally this would always be
untouchable data.

Switch over to the new frontend parseconfig.
* Fix a few issues in parseconfig
* Remove unused callback upon database registration
* Remove conf file related errors from error.c/alpm.h

Remove inclusion of libintl.h from all files, because we can do it once
in util.c where the _() macro is defined.

reordering and adding ones that were forgotten (noticed when trying to
compile after reordering).
* Updated the HACKING file to include information on #include usage.
* print -> vprint in "making dir" function in pactest.
* Cleanup up some error enum values
* Revamped the 'pmserver_t' functionality. Less allocation,
removed a param and cleaned up some duplicate URL parsing
* Removed some unnecessary headers and library links
* Made things static if possible
* Cleaned up makefiles a bit
* Fixed some old comments in the code
* Fixed some errors the static code checker splint pointed out
* Backwards arguments in a memset call in _alpm_db_read (could have been worse)
* Other various small fixes
Other:
* Default to 80 columns when getcols cannot determine display width
* Removal of ._install as a valid install file in packages
* Furthered the "lazy caching" to force the pkgcache to read nothing
(INFRQ_NONE) by default. Anything requiring package data should now check
the infolevel of each package and attempt to update it. This could be
ironed out a bit more later (by using the front-end get_info function
* Switched to libfetch. Drastic changes to the download code and the callback
progress bar functions. Also fixed the return value of
_alpm_downloadfiles_forreal. Downloading now supports http, ftp, https, and
files urls, along with 'mtime's and numerous other fancy features from
libfetch.
