While there that logfile with one line per install/uninstall could also 
keep details on the fact if the pkg was installed via pkg_add/"make 
install", or as dependency for something else. That way, we can easily 
spot the pkgs that we really installed, in contrast to all the cruft that 
came in uninvited. May be useful for upgrade scenarios.

IIRC gentoo has something similar to this.
