"unlimit datasize" lest the build process take as much as your system limits
allow.  :>

There's no real way for the pkg system to know--or, for that matter,
care--about datasize limits.  But when building very big pkgs, it's probably
a good idea to "unlimit" (make all limits as big as possible) before
building.
