During a pacman operation such as a group install, pacman can ask several
questions such as "local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway?". They are
usually all answered either by yes or by no:
* yes when you want to reinstall all the targets.
* no when you only want to install the missing ones (either because you are
installing a group, or because you are copying a pacman -S line from wiki or
whatever).
So instead of asking this question for each target, it is now now configured
with a flag. Yes will be the default -S behavior, No will be achieved with
the --needed flag.

This operation made sense in the days before sync DBs existed, but it no
longer has the same usefulness it once did.

I wonder how many tools / scripts deal directly with the sync databases under /var/lib/pacman/ ,
I doubt these are the only ones.

There's no need for a second hashing algorithm. MD5 serves the purpose
of verifying that a package file hasn't been corrupted during download.

.gitignore works recursively, so we don't need Makefile and Makefile.in
in all of the subdirectory .gitignore files.

Remove versioncmp.c by moving all functions to locations that make sense.
Move replacement functions (for building without glibc) into util.c where
they belong, and do proper checks for them instead of using __sun__, etc.

* Move all .cvsignore files to .gitignore for switch in VCS. In addition,
delete ones that were unnecessary because they only contained Makefile
and Makefile.am.
