[PATCH] Checking integrity of installed packages in cygcheck


Hi,

This patch adds most of the capability of the script from
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-08/msg00106.html> to cygcheck.
It is triggered by the "-c" flag to cygcheck.  "Integrity" is a rather
strong word, actually, as all this checks for is the existence of files
and directories, but this could be further built upon (for example, tar
has a diff option that could be useful).  The patch is against cvs HEAD
with my previous micropatch
(<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2003-q3/msg00058.html>) applied.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
	Igor
