Turns out this breaks bootstrapping from read-only source.  Tonight's
upstream-trunk64 bulk build failed due to:

  => Creating binary package /workspace/pkgsrc-upstream-trunk64/packages/All/bootstrap-mk-files-20160908.tgz
  mkdir: "/workspace/pkgsrc-upstream-trunk64/packages/All": Read-only file system

so a user bootstrapping from read-only source (maybe I'm in a small
minority doing this) will have to set either PACKAGES or
PKGSRC_KEEP_BIN_PKGS in the ./bootstrap environment.

It'd be nice to have a cleaner fix for this.
