On netbsd-current, does pkgsrc use the native 1.1 exclusively now?  If
so, we should get a sense of how bad things are from a bulk build on
current.

For things like python 2.7 with many dependencies, I suspect it may be
better to patch them for 1.1.  But we can't fix everything.

Another question is how much various upstreams will cope given 6 months
of waiting.  I realize NetBSD-current is an immediate issue, but it's
not clear to me that faster updating to 1.1 in pkgsrc is optimal.
