Bug 218982

The flags are actually included in the bugzilla.getBug(bugid, username,
password) call. Although it is kind of cryptic in its output. Look for a
toplevel key named 'flag_types'. It is a list of possible data structs that are
flags that can be set for that particular bug. If any flags have actually been
set to either '+', '-', or '?', then there is a key called 'flags' under that
that is a list of data structs containing the flag data. Just iterate through
the list and look for a key called 'type' which is a pointer to a struct data
that has the key 'name'. Just skip the ones you are not interested in. There is
also a key called 'status' to see which symbol the flag is set to. 

example:

'flag_types' => [
                          {
                            'flags' => [
                                       {
                                         'target' => {
                                                     'type' => 'bug',
                                                     'exists' => '1',
                                                     'bug' => {
                                                              'bug_status' =>

                        ],

I was wondering the other day if it was possible to grab everything out of the
bugzilla through an xml-rpc interface (not that I have any use currently).  This
looks like it should solve my problem.  

I'll spend some time trying to hack up some perl for this.  If I fail, I'll
probably bother you again.
