"upset2"

[Christopher Faylor]

I've moved 'upset' to a new home and have begun modularizing the upset
perl code so that it will be possible to write a setup.hint 'linter'.

The new home for upset is

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/sourceware co infra/bin/cygwin

upset2 also lives there.  It is a work in progress but it is already
more flexible than 'upset' or 'update-setup'.  I'll probably be
switching over to using it on sourceware this week.

upset2 seems to work okay for me, on a few locally-constructed trees. 
In fact, discounting the tarball listings in html that upset generated, 
the output is identical to upset's...nice job.

Phew.  Thank you.  Saw the subject and had a sinking feeling that I'd
screwed something up.

One major change in the modularity of upset2 is that you can specify as
many directories as you want to scan.  You don't have to confine
yourself to 'latest' and 'contrib' and there is no depth limit.

I added this with Jason Tishler in mind since I know he needs this.  I
didn't add a command line option for it yet, though.  That will be
trivial, though.

Thanks for the Valentine's Day present. :,)

Would you be willing to accept a patch for the above?

Thanks,

I'll add the functionality eventually.  I'm still mulling over the best
way to do it.

In the meantime adding something quick 'n dirty is really trivial.
