getlibs: Automatically solves dependencies for binaries

[cappy at boundlesssupremacy.com]

Hi,
I just joined the list. I would like to throw in the idea that my script
getlibs be included with the next Ubuntu. I have a post on the
UbuntuForums about it here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790

It works for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems but I wrote it so that 64-bit
users have a way to install 32-bit libraries that are not included with
the ia32-libs* packages. Its main use is basically limited to pre-compiled
packages such as games and proprietary programs that have not yet
distributed a 64-bit binary. However, it can also be used on 64-bit
binaries on a 64-bit system or a 32-bit on a 32-bit system to install
native libraries without having to ldd or apt-get each missing dependency.
My hope with this package is to simplify the installation of binaries and
save everyone a little time.

It works by retrieving the package list from http://packages.ubuntu.com
for a missing library, finding the package name, downloading the i386
package, extracting that package, and then moving all libraries over to
/lib32 or /usr/lib32.
