Details

It fixes the pacman-doesn't-handle-symlinks-properly problem (where a package used to have a file in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/... and now has it in /usr/lib/perl5/current/... and pacman thinks there's already a file there, not realizing it's the same file) and the file-moves-from-one-package-to-another problem (such as the recent coreutils/shadow upgrade).

Feel free to rip it apart, I wasn't sure about memory allocation conventions... it seemed that sometimes you MALLOC'd strings but never freed them...
