It used to be the case that, by default, pkgsrc would install (some?)
X11 applications under ${X11BASE} (/usr/X11R6).  I don't like that, so I
always use xpkgwedge to make pkgsrc use ${LOCALBASE} (/usr/pkg) instead.

Has that behaviour changed recently?  Is the equivalent of xpkgwedge
now the default?
