  Modified files:
    lib/sysinstall       PackageStream.cc 
  Log:
  I think I found a yet unimplemented function:
  
  update_features_provided_database() just doesn't do things that make
  sense.
  
  I think it's still in a develop-debugging phase, where it
  creates a file with the features that need to be updated in a *local*
  file, which has a const name.
  
  Beside the fact that this is a big security issue, it just makes no
  sense to have the install routine create sucha file in the source
  directory of the package.
  
  I assume this method should do somthing else.  I still need to figure,
  _what_.  If it does, what the name implies, the actual code doesn't
  make any sense to me (what should the database want with a locally
  created file?).
  
  We'll probably find out once people are actually beginning to use it ;-),
  and then I'll be able to implement it.
  
  For now, add a big XXX comment and at least #if 0 the creation of this
  odd file - everything still works, so I really don't know what this was for.
