work-in-progress branch to install all compiler wrappers in the .deb

The current Fink release (0.36.4.1) dynamically generates the compiler 
wrappers for clang/clang++ (via functions in Fink::PkgVersion).  We 
currently remove the wrappers when updating fink, and new ones are 
generated for the next build operation.  This isn't 100% reliable, though.

I've generated a work-in-progress branch in the fink github repository 
(i.e. I don't think it's quite ready to be a pull request) called 
"compiler_wrapper_in_deb".  As the name suggests, in this branch all of 
the compiler wrappers get installed in the .deb.

Fink::PkgVersion hasn't been altered, because I haven't had time to 
explore the full ramifications of altering the wrapper generation there 
(not well commented or documented).  For example, are temporary wrappers 
generated to build dpkg-bootstrap?  Also, in the event of user error, in 
principle the various ensure* functions will attempt to regenerate the 
compiler wrappers, which is useful.  Though I'd argue that it's poor 
from a maintenance standpoint to have separate copies of the wrapper 
scripts stored as heredocs within PkgVersion.pm and as normal files, 
which is what we've been doing for a while now.

Anyway, feedback is appreciated.
