[csw-maintainers] gar tip

Hi All,

Peter and I just realized that not everyone is aware of the templated
GAR recipe feature.  In opencsw/ (or opencsw/cpan, etc), you can type:

gmake newpkg-foo

This will give you a templated base recipe file.  It's custom to each
specialized category (cpan, etc) so that things like gmake
newpkg-Some::Cool:Perl will generate a recipe for
CSWpm-some-cool-perl/pm_some_cool_perl, etc.

It should save you some typing and give you a standard base recipe to
start from.

HTH.
