well, sure.  i can tell that i've mounted it, but that doesn't tell me
what's in it.  and yes, i can also go look in /usr/pkg/bin and see
what's there, but that's *still* not the answer.

what's toe?  why is it here?  oh, i see...it came in that package.
*that's* the information that's missing when you only nfs mount
/usr/pkg.
