UCL and UPX ready

don't bother that rant.. I was just blind.. it's not completely documented
but it's quite easy to let it work ^_^

@ ucl
sdesc: "The UCL compression and decompression library"
ldesc: "UCL is a portable lossless data compression library written in ANSI
C.
UCL implements a number of compression algorithms that achieve an excellent
compression ratio while allowing *very* fast decompression.
Decompression requires no additional memory."
category: Libs
requires: cygwin

@ upx
sdesc: "UPX is a free, portable, extendable, high-performance executable
packer"
ldesc: "UPX is a free, portable, extendable, high-performance executable
packer for several different executable formats. It achieves an excellent
compression ratio and offers very fast decompression. Your executables
suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks.
UPX is copyrighted software distributed under the terms of the GNU General
Public License, with special exceptions granting the free usage for
commercial programs as stated in the UPX License Agreement.
UPX uses the NRV compression library for compression services. A compatible
but somewhat less efficient OpenSource implementation is available through
the UCL compression library.
UPX aims to be Commercial Quality Freeware.
This version uses the UCL library."
category: Utils
requires: cygwin

Now there's the little problem: UPX executable doesn't need UCL binary
package, but UPX source needs it (it's statically linked).
Maybe a dinamically linked version would be better? it would need UCL
library both for compiling and for using...
