* Fixed an issue with globbing the --test argument

* Added a custom 'mkdir' function which makes parents and doesn't fail on
  existence
* Added output for 'SKIP' messages (it did not indicate WHY it was skipped)
* Added the ability to generate DB packages in the sync dir (not the cache dir)
  for testing downloading.  (self.cachepkgs = False)
* Added pmtest.path for the full path to the package file
