A new target has been added to xbps-bin: autoremove. It works in
the same way than 'apt-get', but there's no stdin input. By default
it will list you all orphaned packages, and -f flag must be set
to really remove them.
The following is a real example for the git package, which requires
directly perl and curl-libs, and indirectly libidn and openssl.
$ xbps-bin -r ~/testing-xbps remove git
Removing package git-1.6.1.3 ... done.
$
$ xbps-bin -r ~/testing-xbps autoremove
The following packages were installed automatically
(as dependencies) and aren't needed anymore:
perl-5.10.0 curl-libs-7.19.0 libidn-1.10 openssl-0.9.8j
If you are really sure you don't need them, use -f to confirm.

Now if any package is going to be removed and it's required by
other packages, it won't let you remove it unless -f is set.
Here's an example of how it looks like:
[juan@fedora-vm xbps]$ xbps-bin -r ~/testing-xbps remove glibc

* If any dep of a package cannot be found in the repository pool,
show it on xbps-bin.
* Add the automatic-install boolean obj into pkg's dictionary
on regpkgdb.plist, this will be used to implemented something
like "apt-get autoremove".

This implementation will be faster and resolv the dependency chain
correctly taking into account indirect/direct deps and priority.

- Remove lib/info.c that doesn't belong in the lib and add it into the
bins.
- Every binary now uses its own directory on bin/.
This is in preparation for future changes for correct behaviour of
the library and binaries.
