move to use v5.36;
tested by me over the last few weeks, and tb@
also fixed a "manual install" bug properly reported by tb@

aside that there should be *no functional change*.
If you see any message like "hey, the number of params is wrong"
it is a fringe case I didn't run into and should be easy to fix.

remove old "paranoid" option, I'm pretty sure nobody uses it.

refactor the code into figuring out simple updates: if we don't have
any @execs but just @tags, we can probably do something simpler wrt
temporary files and temporary filenames, which should speed up texlive
updates significantly.

(the tempfile code is not there yet, just the check for safe updates)

- have confirm go thru f() every time (adding

- check DESCR in pkg_create, as suggested by sthen@
- don't do the whole safe dance when not needed (optimization)
- misnamed allowed -> forbidden (schwarze@)

This effectively prevents DESCR from using diacritics. Sorry!
Ingo makes a compelling argument that using UTF8 while installing a new
box is currently fairly dangerous, considering tty setups.

This affects about 10 ports at the moment, all of which were fixed before
this commit.

simplify the interactive code into its own little object with simpler
interface, so that most is it interactive tests vanish from the main
program.

s/anyways/anyway/, ok espie@

simplify code: always extract, then install, so that initial installations
and updates are more similar.

bump copyright to 2014

let's verify all checksums.
I forgot about special files, since they've been extracted early,
but they can be checked nonetheless.

(prevents people from tampering with DESC and the like)

zap blank spaces

zap old INSTALL/DEINSTALL stuff, it's been deprecated for 3 years, and removed
from pkg_create for over a year.

even with tied files, still arrange to apply set_modes.

issue noted by halex@

in an UpdateSet, match new files with old files based on their sha256.

put in a few failsafes (size check) for people with fubar'd file
systems (hey oga@).

The more often you update, the more you gain. Over 6 months, about one
out of five files doesn't change.

apparently, improves things a lot on slow fs, as said landry@ and sthen@.
tested by quite a few people.

handle failures from ports tree with more care.
this does avoid infinite loops in case of wrong plists.
necessary since print-plist-with-depends CAN fail...

:-P

initial scaffolding for @rcscript: for now, acts like normal files,
but allow absolute pathnames (treat that as an implicit @cwd).

more explicit message

allow say and errsay to work without parameters, as it's ways common.
create verbose_system up in state, because it makes sense without verbose.

whitespace cleanup

differentiate more between @exec and @unexec

ui changes: go thru a state object for most printouts

move code around, so that commands can be used as modules.
pkg becomes the start hub, which does nothing except require the
correct module.
Saner code wrt Add/Delete, and more sharing.

whitespace fixes

clean up the ProgressMeter code, create a specific class if a Term
is around.
start using stuff from termcap, specifically, cleareol, and move to hp.

(this should flicker much less on slow terminals).

clean-up the install-and-progress bits to be in progressmeter, this removes
some code.

have pkg_create follow the same pattern as the others, with a state.
This allows us to unify error messages a bit.

don't bother checking for exec and displaying them if we're not verbose
and we have -D update on.

move the oldlibs code into its separate file, prior to fixing it.
allow replacement if it only touches partial or libs
