So here is the first version of the patch :
  I've made a tiny XML parser (very very simple ^^), a new
PckRepositoryList command and a new class PackageRepository which stores
packages from a repository. Any comments, remarks  are welcomes

 I've found also a minor "bug" when I've bootstraped the image if there
are errors the compiler display nothing, may be an improvement for the
3.3 ;).
