Updated (and new) cygport patches

[Charles Wilson]

And here's number 5 (or 6, depending on how you count).  This one adds 
the ability to call cygport functions (in addition to the usual 
prep/compile/install/ and friends).

It works this way:
    cygport cvs-1.11.22-1 custom0-cvs_check_local_known_fail
will invoke cvs_check_local_known_fail() with no additional arguments.

However,
    cygport cvs-1.11.22-1 custom3-cvs_do_one_test rcslib remote fail
will invoke cvs_do_one_test() with $1=rcslib $2=remote $3=fail.

Note that the number following 'custom' indicates how many arguments to 
consume and forward to the target command.  Variants from 0 to 9 are 
accepted.


The custom-command framework will ONLY invoke shell functions; it can't 
be used to run arbitrary commands (although, you could simply edit the 
.cygport file to define a shell function, that then runs those arbitrary 
commands).

The subcommand 'custom-show' will list all shell functions defined 
within the cygport runtime envionment, including those defined in the 
cygport file.
    cygport cvs-1.11.22-1 custom-show


As you can tell from my examples, I needed this functionality to deal 
with cvs's totally braindead testsuite "system".  (During development, 
that is.  Normal cygport usage for running the cvs testsuite would be 
'cygport cvs-1.11.22-1 check' as usual).

You can test the custom-command functionality (using any old cygport 
file) by doing:
    cygport some-cygport-file custom0-dummy
    cygport some-cygport-file custom1-dummy a
    cygport some-cygport-file custom2-dummy a b
etc -- or even
    cygport some-cygport-file \
        prep \
        custom2-dummy a b \
        compile \
        custom1-dummy c \
        install \
        custom4-dummy d e f g \
        pkg
