update the current package, restore files omitted from CVS.
.TP
.B \-\-create-testdir
create a scratch package with the given modules.
.TP
.B \-\-create-megatestdir
create a mega scratch package with the given modules one by one and all
together.
.TP
.B \-\-test
test the combination of the given modules (recommended to use CC="gcc \-Wall"
here).
.TP
