I remember when I looked at this last, there were some hard-coded
paths to "/usr/pkg" in the os specific file for NetBSD. That should
not be, as the package can simply supply the appropriate arguments to
"Configure". The only other patches the package supplies are to
disable suid perl, and not pull in -lposix (we don't need it).
