I see. So we absolutely can't distribute CD's without accompanying
distfiles plus pkgsrc. This has an interesting implication, that the
unified 1.6* directory can't be used to make a CD, unless we
distribute the entire pkgsrc repository with it (not just a checkout).
This speak strongly in favor of the school of thought that advocates
"no binary packages between releases".
