[bug-sourceinstall] new features available

[Claudio Fontana]

These new features are available in current CVS,
and in the latest CVS builds:

libsrcinst:
* rewrote upgrade package functionality. This fixes a lot of
  problems with the upgrade actions in the programs.

* consider directory dependencies. Previously only file and link
  dependencies were considered.

* improved info files handling.

* add support for prefix redirection as discouraged fallback
  if none of the good staging installation methods (DESTDIR,
  INSTALL_ROOT) are found.

sourceinstall:
* more parseable output from the detection actions (-1, -2, -3).
* --check action does not print all installed files anymore,
  since that functionality is already provided by --export-list -
  Only report if there are missing ones.
* add support for prefix redirection (see above) under --force.

sourceinstall-gtk:
* relaxed GTK requirement from 2.6 to 2.4. 
  If 2.6 is available, some more niceties are available.

* new dialogs for messages

* new optional command line argument to quickly start a package
  add action.

* support for prefix redirection (see above) is available,
  but the user must confirm, since its use is discouraged.

many bugfixes are also in.
