Oinkmaster and multiple URLs

[Andreas Östling <andreaso () it su se>]

A few poeple have asked about this so I commited a patch that makes it 
possible to download any number of rules archives from different URLs at 
the same time, e.g.:

oinkmaster.pl -o rules \
-u http://www.snort.org/dl/rules/snortrules-snapshot-CURRENT.tar.gz \
-u http://www.bleedingsnort.com/bleeding.rules.tar.gz

You can also specify multiple url=<url> in oinkmaster.conf, but command 
line overrides them just like before.

I still think it's often much better to run Oinkmaster once for each URL 
and with different output directories though. For example, as all 
downloaded files will be put in the same output directory even when 
getting multiple rules archives, there is going to be problems if the 
same filename exists in multiple archives (Oinkmaster will detect 
this and exit before touching anything).

If you're interested in this feature, please get the latest cvs snapshot
from http://oinkmaster.sourceforge.net/oinkmaster-snapshot.tar.gz (at 
your own risk) and let me know how it works.
