I'm not too sure this was a good idea - certainly not just before a
freeze for the pkgsrc-2010Q4 branch.  It also needs to get buy-in from
the DragonflyBSD folks, too, and I did not see any of that.  If there
was, please update the log message to that effect (i.e.  "discussed on
users@ mailing list", or "approved by ...").
