This introduces a new variable HINTSDIR, which overrides the location of the
Hints dir (normally it is read from the UNSTABLE dir).
Please note that this is the location of the dir that contains the Hints dir.

This introduces a new variable OUTPUTDIR, which overrides the location where
the new dates file is written. This allow to run britney against a read-only
copy of the data.

If an architecture is marked as fucked, britney's package list for that
architecture may include arch:all packages for an older version. When
outputting the result file, we should not include those packages as
they will lead to import failures.

The new Installability Tester (IT) module replaces the remaining
C-parts. Unlike C-implementation, it does not give up and emit an
"AIEEE" half-way through.
In order to determine installability, it uses two sets "musts" and
"never". As the names suggest, the sets represents the packages that
must be (co-)installable with the package being tested and those that
can never be co-installable. For a package to be installable, "musts"
and "never" have remain disjoint.
These sets are also used to reduce the number of alternatives that are
available to satisfy a given dependency. When these sets are unable
to remove the choice completely, the new IT defers the choice to later.
This occasionally reduces backtracking as a later package may conflict
or unconditionally depend on one of the remaining alternatives.

FAILED/SUCCESS lines would be separated by a whitespace from the list
of architectures, but not itself followed by whitespace. This is slightly
confusing, as one could interpret it as being a heading for the following
block of tested packages, rather that the final result of the previous
block.
