True.  It seems that there need to be multiple package locations per
machine.  (Multiple clients with different base installs but sharing
/usr/pkg or even /usr would need this, for example).  I wonder if there
should be a way to tie package location to db location (i.e. say `all
packages installed into /usr use /usr/db/pkg, but all installs into
/usr/pkg use /usr/pkg/db/pkg')?  This would be the simplest to
administer, IMHO, and solves the problem of knowing where to write
package information, but it just feels ugly to me.  Oh, well...

/etc/pkg.conf anyone?
