something like OpenBSD ports fake-root feature would be very nice to
have.  i think it's more sane way of building packages because your
system is keeping intact to the point when you have binary package ready
and it's installed the only way--using pkg_add--regardless on the fact
whether you compile it yourself or use binary packages, and don't place
files to your system in 'make install' stage, which means that you need
to remove your old package before 'make install' is executed..

just my $.02
