  The setnames are for System Packages.  I have used them to pare down
  to less than 50 megs, and I have not hit a hard barrier to paring down
  even further. I "build.sh install=<tmpdir>", I register the packages
  using src/distrib/sets/regpkg, and then I pkg_delete the ones that I
  do not want.
