I've added a bunch of new options to express various bits of non-derivable
metadata, like maintainer name, e-mail address, etc. I also added a generic
-x filename switch, that is interpreted depending on the packaging system
- for debian packages it means please add this file's contents to the
DEBIAN/control file. That effectively allows the use of conrol file
templates for packaging purposes, where just the derivable
information is filled in by jpkg from the contents of the modules,
and everything else can be (but doesn't have to be) supplied by
the user.
