+int alpm_sync_dbtarget(char *db, char *target);
+int alpm_add_target(char *target);
+int alpm_remove_target(char *target);

* functions renaming
* add new sync_dbtarget which allows to specify the db
* repo/ syntax handling is moved to frontend
( should implement FS#15141)
* group handling is moved to backend
