Well, you are right that it is usually convenient to build your own 
package and install it, however in my case I am a developer and i build 
and test several applications and libraries directly from CVS and SVN, 
thus using pkg is a bit impractical.

I wanted to discuss the matter and understand if there were any specific 
reasons before opening a pr.

Thank you.
