burp backup and restore program

Hello Graham.

Creating an unofficial debian package for burp is quite easy (if you
dont stick to the debian rules). For rolling out the binary to our
servers i needed that anyway.
I made a Perl-Script for that. It just takes the binary of burp even
omitting the manual page for now and sticks it into a debian package.

If you are interested I can give it to you :o)

Regards

Matthias

Thanks for the offer, but what I meant was that I don't know how to get it into
an official repository.

Hello Patrick,

I have now added those changes (with some small tweaks) to git.

The one that changed the most was the 'pidfile' one - I made the option a
synonym for the existing 'lockfile', which does exactly the same job.

I also added a 'CONTRIBUTORS' file to the top level and added your name. :)
