Experimental PackageKit interface for Click packages

 

I've uploaded click 0.1.4, which among other things adds an experimental
PackageKit plugin (currently waiting in NEW for archive admin approval).
There are still some issues with it, and you should read
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/click/view/head:/pk-plugin/README
if you plan to play with it.  However, it should be enough for people
developing Unity Dash integration and the like to work on that end of
things.

This plugin currently implements the SimulateInstallFiles, InstallFiles
(i.e. local already-downloaded Click packages) and GetPackages PK roles.
The "data" field in the GetPackages result will be "installed:click" for
Click packages.  I plan to add more roles in the near future, not least
(Simulate)RemovePackages, InstallPackages once I work out the download
service / search integration, and I suppose the various search roles.

As usual, the details are still somewhat subject to change, but I'll try
not to change them frivolously.
