Tests, comments and patches are welcome. :)

This is of course intended to make life easier for people using git-svn.

           maildirs, rather than just looking in the directories [a-zA-Z0-9], thanks
           for the patch from chris@cenolan.com (Trac#43)

dup: added option --force to cleanup and remove-older-than commands, else they actually do not do anything

lib/tools.in(maketemp): really remove insecure fall-back if mktemp is missing, since it is now required at build-time

sys: fix catifexec invocations with arguments to prevent "line 191: [: too many arguments" error messages

sys: fixed debconf-get-selections search in VServers, especially in case it is not available on the host

added more robust mdadm raid device capture, by actually scanning active arrays via mdadm, rather than just catting the mdadm.conf file, which may be empty

fixed catifexec function to actually work, also now takes arguments that are passed, thanks to a report from John Hallam

add the ability to save the debconf package selection states in the sys handler, which aides in restoring installed packages with the right choices made

made mktemp a requirement for building backupninja, added autotools variables to substitute the proper binary location and removed bad fall-back when mktemp was not there
