Announce: prerelease hdup2.0.0

Hello,

I've made a prerelease available on
http://miek.nl/hdup-2.0.0.tar.gz
http://miek.nl/hdup-2.0.0.tar.bz2

Now you need glib to compile hdup. Futher more the include/exlude
stuff now takes regular expressions. See below. 
Also a new keyword was added: nobackup. It takes a filename as an
argument, if the file is found in a directory, that directory is
excluded from the backup.

Please test and let me know if there are any issues! Thanks.

Known stuff:
- configure does not yet check for glib

The changelog:
  - major overhaul and new build depencies -
  [Features]
  * Moved to Glib for lowlevel C function
    - lots of changes to the source
    - g_strdup_printf and g_strconcat are now used a lot
  * #define LEN gone
  * Moved to subversion for development
  * Dependency on find was removed. We use our own routine now.
  * Support for .nobackup files (see nobackup keyword)
  * Updated documentation
  * Public repository accessible (TODO)
  * Makefile.in made smaller
  * Totally reworked the include/exclude mechanism. It is now 
    POSIX regexp based.
  * hdup will now always make to passes over the harddisk - one
    to determine what to backup and then the actual backup. Yes I
    know; this is a race.

  [Bugs]
  * Bug #12 fixed; removed -a in GPG encryption/decryption
  * Bug #16 fixed: the non-tweaked hdup.conf.distr is installed
    as the default hdup.conf
  * Bug fixed: the include and exclude lists are not copied to 
    other host when they define their own lists.

> * patterns: (stole the first two from rsync) > -  if the pattern
> starts with a / 

This is not implemented. 

> - if the pattern ends with a / then it will only match a directory,
> not a file, link, or device.

This is. Thus if it ends with '/' the pattern is applied to the FULL
pathname of directory. If not it is applied to the FULL pathname of
the file.

> - man 3 regcomp. That is, POSIX compliant regular expressions.

I use the flags: REG_EXTENDED | REG_NOSUB

> - include preceeds exclude

This is not always enforceble. If you include a file, but exclude a
higher directory, the file is not included. Example: include =
/home/miekg/tmp/blabla.tgz exclude = /home/miekg/tmp/

blabla.tgz will not end up in the archive. I have no intent on fixing
this as this involves a lot more coding.

> nobackup = .nobackup
 
This also works.
