I thought we had "bin-update" and it is still mentioned in mk/bsd.pkg.mk
but not implemented any more.

I used to use:
  make UPDATE_TARGET=bin-install update

but that doesn't do the current package

What I want is bin-install to not run as root the whole time and also have
an option to use the binary package that is "good enough" (not
necessarily same as PKGVERSION).
