it would be nice to have union wait gone.

can you run a pkgsrc bulk build (or get someone to)?

i know of code in the past used to only try to use 'union wait'
on particular systems, and BSD ones always counted as possible,
so i'm not sure that it's a valid claim to say other systems
have forced cleanups in 3rd party code.
