New mask types:
  "" defaults to "data"
  "none" won't chmod the file when installing

New file types:
  "tclmodule" the file may be installed as a Tcl module

SPITE - Simple Packager and Installer for Tcl Extensions
 2004-2015 Stuart Cassoff <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>

SPITE is a utility to package Tcl scripts and other
files for easy distribution and installation.
SPITE is designed mainly for unix systems.
SPITE takes a list of files and puts them
and the installer code into a shell script.
This shell script may then be used to install the files.
The idea behind SPITE is to provide a simple way to distribute
mostly non-binary Tcl extensions consisting of a handful of text files.
Textual input files must terminate with a newline or SPITE will break.
When installing files of type 'tclscript', the installer will pass
the file through sed with one or both of the following regexps:
"1,5s/exec .*tclsh[^ ]*/exec ${TCLSH}/g"
"1,5s/exec .*wish[^ ]*/exec ${WISH}/g"
This requires sed and mktemp on the target system.
Checksumming may be disabled during install with --sum ""

Requires Tcl 8.5+

Usage:
  spite [-f configfile]

Will write to stdout a .spite installer file based
on the configuration in configfile.


BUGS
  For directories, ownership is changed only for the last dir in a path.

# Files to install
#
# Use [addfile] or [->] to specify files to install
#
# addfile sname dir ?mask? ?type? ?iname?
# ->      sname dir ?mask? ?type? ?iname?
#
# "sname" is where file is located now (source name)
# relative to "srcdir"
#
# "iname" is the name the file should have when installed
#
# destdir for file is "prefix" + "dir"
# if dir is one of appdir, bindir, libdir,
# scriptdir, mandir, docdir or exdir
# then the named dir will be used
#
# "mask" is "" or numerical mask or name
# "mask" "data" or "" will use "datamask"
# "mask" "script" will use "scriptmask"
# "mask" "none" won't set the file's mode when installing
#
# "type" can be "", "text", "binary", "tclscript",
# "tclmodule", "pkgindex", "readme", "license" or "link"
#
# if "type" is "" or "text" then normal processing will occur
# if "type" is "binary" then the file will be uuencoded/decoded
#
# if "type" is "tclmodule" it will be treated the same
# as "text" except that it will be installed in the --tclmoddir
# with a Tcl module style name
#
# if "type" is "pkgindex" it will be treated the same
# as "text" except that it won't be installed if --tclmodule
# is set when installing
#
# if "type" is "tclscript" it will be treated the same
# as "text" except that tclsh/wish path resolution will
# be performed during install
#
# if "type" is "readme" it will be treated the same
# as "text" except that it will enable a command line
# option allowing the user to view the readme before installing
#
# if "type" is "license" it will be treated the same
# as "text" except that it will enable a command line
# option allowing the user to view the readme before installing
#
# if "type" is "link" then its iname will be symlinked
# to whatever sname ends up as
