We had this interesting set of facts conundrum, according to vercmp
return values:
2.0a < 2.0
2.0 < 2.0.a
2.0a == 2.0.a
This introduces a code change that ensures '2.0a < 2.0.a' as would be
expected by the first two comparisons. Unfortunately this stays us a bit
further from upstream RPM code, but those are the breaks (in RPM, the
versions involving 'a' do in fact compare the same, but they are both
greater than the bare '2.0').

Not sure how or why some of this differed, but it is easy enough to set
it back to how it was so it is easier to diff.

This was discussed and more or less agreed upon on the mailing list. A
huge checkin, but if we just do it and let people adjust the pain will
end soon enough. Rebasing should be relatively straighforward for anyone
that sees conflicts; just be sure you use the new return style if
possible.
The following semantic patch was used to do the change, along with some
hand-massaging in order to preserve parenthesis where appropriate:
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows, although some
hand-massaging was done in order to keep parenthesis where appropriate:

A macros_file was also provided with the following content:

$ sed -i -e 's#return(-1)#return -1#' lib/libalpm/*.c

Adapting from RPM, follow the [epoch:]version[-release] syntax. We can also
borrow some of their parsing code for our purposes (thanks!). Add some new
tests to our vercmp shell script tester for epoch comparisons, and then make
the code work with these newfangled epoch specifiers.

It isn't really necessary here and it helps us get rid of some link
pollution so we can have a slim vercmp binary.

This will facilitate using this object file on its own in the vercmp tool
which will be done in a future commit. The net impact on the generated
binaries should not be noticeable after this commit.
