Andrew Gregory 926280cfc7 remove support for .pacorig files
Leave user files in place and save new config files with a .pacnew
extension.  This reduces the complexity of file extraction and respects
the principle that pacman shouldn't modify files it didn't create.

for instance.
paclog-pkglist - lists currently installs packages based pacman's log.
pacscripts - tries to print out the {pre,post}_{install,remove,upgrade}

packages are easily identified with a *** and local-only packages are also
listed.

updpkgsums - performs an in place update of the checksums in a PKGBUILD.
vimprojects - a project file for the vim project plugin.
