Hi,

Of course it is helpful to use extended host attribute checking for checks too.
I thought about this already but it needed some more integration effort.
Unfortunately the patch provided would lead to quite unexpected results in many
cases. Some issues:

- Nested checks are not taken into account (WPKG supports logical check
grouping and nesting checks)
- During install/remove WPKG needs to know the amount of checks defined in the
package. Packages with 0 checks are treated in special manner.

I have tried to implement it in a way that existing check-hierarchies are not
broken. In addition I've updated the documentation in packages.xsd.

Here is a changelog:

NEW: Added extended host matching for <check /> nodes. This enables to specify
     checks like:
     <check type="uninstall"
            condition="exists"
            path="Mozilla Firefox 5.0.1 (x86 en-US)"
            architecture="x86"
     />
     <check type="uninstall"
            condition="exists"
            path="Mozilla Firefox 5.0.1 (x64 en-US)"
            architecture="x64"
     />

     So you can specify individual checks based on specific host matches like
     the host architecture, OS or other attributes.
     Thanks to "cleitet" for suggestion. Fixes bug 205.


Would you mind testing the changes in your environment?

Just download wpkg.js (version 1.2.1-RC6) from here:
<http://wpkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wpkg/wpkg/stable/1.2/>
