- OK, sorry for not offering a better solution here.

	It'll work.  Having the functionality is _extremely_
useful to us..

- Any input on this from the tech-pkg folks? :)

	I haven't heard anything..  And I've even subscribed to
the list..

- Shouldn't be too hard to prepend the Src/-L prefix instead of the real
- prefix to pkgdb, if available...

	Actually, I don't think it should get entered into the
pkgdb at all, since it's not being installed on the system, just
packaged. (aka, from a collection of files and directories into
a bundle that can be installed via pkg_add.)

	Something for me to look into when I have time.. :-)

	Thanks,
