[p4] Scripting label creation

[Jeff A. Bowles]

Look at "FAQ for integrating Perforce with your build scripts" at
http://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/faq/build.html for some
suggestions.
I would suggest that the "p4 label -o // p4 label -i" mechanism is what you
are looking for, but you will need something like "sed" (a Unix-like string
replacement program) to change the description before feeding to "p4 label
-i".
