2011-12-23contrib/*: Support the "--help" and "--version" optionsLukas Fleischer
Add "--help"/"-h" and "--version"/"-V" support to all contrib scripts. Also, update scripts that used "-v" as a short option for "--version" and use "-V" for the sake of consistency. Additionally: * Move version and usage messages to separate convenience functions in all scripts. * Add a workaround to paccache to support "--help" and "--version". This should be replaced by a proper POSIX-compliant command line parser that supports long options in a future patch. * Add a "$myver" variable to all scripts and use it whenever we refer to the program version (e.g. in version messages). Also, use the pacman version number everywhere instead of using a different versioning scheme for each contrib script. This is achieved by adding a "PACKAGE_VERSION" placeholder that is replaced by sed(1) when the script is built. * Ensure we always return with exit status 0 if "--help" is used and return with exit status 1 if we display the usage message due to invalid arguments. * Add "AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = std-options" and add all scripts to "bin_SCRIPTS" to make `make installcheck` check that installed scripts actually support the "--help" and "--version" options.

2011-12-07contrib/*: Hardcode program namesLukas Fleischer
Add a read-only variable "$myname" to every contrib script and hardcode program names instead of relying on "$0". The variable name "$myname" was chosen because it is already used in pacman and because we use "$myver" to specify the program version in the official scripts.

2011-07-05contrib/paclist: rewrite in bashDave Reisner
The original concept for this script was a bash implementation, but turned out to be unreasonable at the time due to the efficiencies of the database format. Since those have been resolved, we can rewrite this in bash as a much simpler script. All the action happens in a single line, but we add extend this a little, binding to gettext to keep our pacman translations intact.
