Also, if this finally stays in some way... do we really have to have
so long messages? I mean, those ==== and blank lines take a lot of
screen space, whereas the same thing could be achieved by printing
'Regitering info file foo for bar-x.y.z.' on a line on its own.
(Ever tried pkg_add on a package with lots of dependents (e.g.
gnome)? The output is hard to parse visually and is extremely long.)
