#10893: Haikuports repository is inconsistent

We currently don't have any way to check the haikuports repo for
consistency.
Here are some known problems:
* Some packages can't be built with the current version of gcc4 (ffmpeg,
flac)
* Some packages require libpcre 8.21, other require 8.33. It's not
possible to install both.
For the alpha, we need a clean set of packages that can be rebuilt in one
go to populate the repository. We need to create an emty repo, and import
recipes from haikuports, first adding packages needed for a bootstrap
build, then growing the repo with careful checking that everything is
allright.
Tools to automate the testing process when a new recipe is uploaded (a
buildbot) would be nice to have.
Failing this, alpha5 would be released with a repo from which not all
packages can be installed, and even worse, not all packages can be rebuilt
to an identical state. This would make bugfixing and maintenance quite
difficult.
