Preventing check of sharedlibs in rev-upgrade

[Joshua Root]

The basic test is that the files referred to by each mach-o file's load
commands exist. It uses pretty much the same information that is shown
by 'otool -L /path/to/file'.

If you run rev-upgrade with the -v (or -d) option, it will show the
specifics of why it considers files to be broken.

I have some Java software which is precompiled and also delivering some additional shared libraries. Unfortunately, MacPorts is incorrectly detecting some of the shared libraries as broken and attempting to recompile the package.
