   Package Version Policy implementation

   This implements the more advanced 'Version 4' APT policy engine. The
   standard 'Version 0' engine is included inside the DepCache which is
   it's historical location.
   
   The V4 engine allows the user to completly control all aspects of
   version selection. There are three primary means to choose a version
    * Selection by version match
    * Selection by Release file match
    * Selection by origin server
   
   Each package may be 'pinned' with a single criteria, which will ultimately
   result in the selection of a single version, or no version, for each
   package.
   
   Furthermore, the default selection can be influenced by specifying
   the ordering of package files. The order is derived by reading the
   package file preferences and assigning a priority to each package 
   file.
   
   A special flag may be set to indicate if no version should be returned
   if no matching versions are found, otherwise the default matching
   rules are used to locate a hit.
