The location of the used utilities may and does differ between various
distributions and therefore absolute paths do not work well. Since the
main purpose of its introduction was to avoid side-effects caused by
aliases, it is sufficient to disable possible aliases temporarily by
preceding the commands with a backslash.

This implements FS#13877. Add a new option "-Qk" which checks if all of the
files for a given package (or packages) are really on the system (i.e. not
accidentally deleted). This can be combined with filters and other display
options. It also respects both the --quiet and --verbose flags to give
varying levels of output.
Based on the original patch by Charly Coste <changaco@laposte.net>, thanks
for your work!

With --unneeded option 'pacman -R' doesn't stop in case of dependency error;
it removes the needed-dependency targets from the target-list instead. See
also: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-October/009653.html .
The patch also adds a new causingpkg field to pmdepmissing_t which indicates
the to-be-removed package which would cause a dependency break. This is
needed, because miss->depend.name may be a provision. miss->causingpkg will
be useful in -R dependency error messages too.
[Xavier: renamed inducer to causingpkg, removed the _alpm_pkgname_pkg_cmp
helper function as requested by Aaron. This might be added by a further
commit. Other small cleanups, updated manpage and bash completion.]

This is the symmetric of --asdeps, install packages explicitly.
Documentation and completion files were updated accordingly.
Added sync301.py and upgrade032.py pactest files to test this.
I also made a little modification in ALLDEPS handling too.

It turns out the orphan name was misleading. Real orphans are packages
installed as dependency no longer required by any others (-Qtd).
The -t option only shows package not required by any others, so --unrequired
describes it better.

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.
