Simplify the script mechanism
-----------------------------

                 Key: MUNIX-18
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MUNIX-18
             Project: Maven 2.x Unix Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Trygve Laugstol


Currently the one way to use scripts is designed to fit all use cases, which is 
like this:

{code}
src
  main
    unix
      scripts
        common
          {pre,post}-{install,remove}
        dpkg
          {pre,post}{inst,rm}
        pkg
          {pre,post}{install,?}
{code}

This is both odd and cumbersome for users only having a single format, and a 
single package.

Suggested solution for single format, single package:
{code}
dpkg:
src
  main
    unix
      scripts
        {pre,post}{inst,rm}
pkg:
src
  main
    unix
      scripts
         {pre,post}{install,?}
{code}

Suggested solution for single format, multiple packages:
{code}
dpkg:
src
  main
    unix
      scripts
        {pre,post}{inst,rm}
        pkg1-{pre,post}{inst,rm}
        pkg2-{pre,post}{inst,rm}
{code}
The first variant would be like the "common" one today. The common files would 
be prepended to the package-specific versions.
