I think this would fit better with the model of a separate tool, that
calls the gentree code to generate internally. Then you'd have maybe 

./devel/gen-and-kup.py -s -n -p -c -u ...

or something? Overall, that seems cleaner than cluttering gentree.py
with all these options, although gentree.py would probably (internally
only?) have to learn about being able to take patches and the skeleton
code from another directory to address the paranoia for the backport
tree itself.

That's when you generate a new one for the same tag, due to updates,
right?

I don't really know how to handle this -- we don't really have a
canonical database of what we've generated before.
