pkgsrc/pkgtools/bootstrap-mk-files/Makefile should probably use REPLACE_SH to replace the interpreter on the #! line in .../files/bootstrap.sh. Then it would not be run using /bin/sh
on Solaris.

This is duplicating work that was already done by pkgsrc/bootstrap/bootstrap on most platforms. Is there already some way of accessing those results? If not, then it may be reasonable to add a way for relevant variables to be provided by infrastructure in pkgsrc/mk/**, with a way for /etc/mk.conf (or equivalent) to override them, and with a way for the pkgsrc bootstrap script to store appropriate values in mk.conf.
