0.18.4 (bugfix && minor improvements release; 2004/05/10)

* package filenames in "non-standard" form (N-V.R.ARCH.rpm) are supported
* killed SIGSEVs on 64bit architecture (Jakub Bogusz <qboosh at pld-linux org>)
* fixed Epoch comparison bug while checking uninstalled capabilities
* vfile: progress bar shows remaining time and transfer rate
  (Patryk Zawadzki <p zawadzki at vegaballs com>)
* fixed setting cache directory bug (Andreas Piesk <a piesk at gmx net>)
* fixed serious bug of checking unversioned dependencies 
* --ignore{arch,os} rpm options are honored
* rpm options could be passed as --rpm=OPTION too, i.e. 
  --rpm=ignorearch is equivalent of -- --rpm-ignorearch
* new cmdline options --rpm-{force,nodeps} which are passed 
  as --force and --nodeps to /bin/rpm only.
* more aggressive package upgrades - orphaned packages are upgraded 
  instead of processing its dependencies. This behavior is enabled 
  by "greedy" option. To disable put "aggressive_greedy = no" to config. 
* "greedy" upgrade mode is enabled by default
* conflicts with already installed packages are treated as resolved 
  if at least one of multiple-installed package satisfies conflict. 
  Of course RPM doesn't support such cases, so additionally --rpm-nodeps
  is needed (use with care). This behavior is enabled by default, 
  put "allow_duplicates=no" to config to disable it.
* displaying package size summary of installed package set
* --unique-pkg-names (-Q) behavior is more intuitive now - highest
  version of package are taken instead of one from highest prioritized
