[wpkg-users] Extend package definition for one host only

[Marco Schmidt]

You can do it like this:

<install cmd="your special command" hostname="NAMEOFCOMPUTER" />

Not tested, but that is what is written in den docu.

According to the docu, you could even use regular expressions for 
matching the hostname.
