What I would like to see is targets for "build" and "install" that just
ignore the .*_done files, don't create any of them either, and do the
install straight to /usr/pkg, not touching anything in $PACKAGES nor
/var/db/pkg/*. Maybe with prominent warning, and/or only available if
PKG_DEVELOPER=yes.
