[Rpm-maint] [patch] intelligent processing of arguments

[James M. Leddy]

Hi,

I wrote a small patch to address the issues of being able to do a -bp or 
--short-circuit from .src.rpm.

As a side effect, you can now use *tar, *.src.rpm, and *spec for any -b 
argument.  We rely on tar to be able to handle multiple files (*.tar *.tar.bz2 
*.tar.gz), so we should be able to do the same.

This warranted throwing out bigMode suggestion, which is redundant anyway since 
you can use ba->buildMode in build.c.   Also, it required pushing 
rpmInstallSource into buildForTarget, but that doesn't seem to be a big deal 
since we already do it for tar files.

I've done limited sanity testing on --rebuild, --recompile, -b[a|p|b|c] for spec 
files and srcrpms.  Feedback is appreciated.
