extracting

[Robert Swindells <rjs%fdy2.co.uk@localhost>]

Is there any way to configure pkgsrc to let you run 'make extract' by
itself, that is without the packages required to build being present ?

I keep one local copy of pkgsrc and NFS mount it from other
machines.

The time taken to extract over NFS can be a large proportion of the
build time, being able to extract the sources on the server then go
back to the client to complete the build would speed it up a lot.
