Thanks, that's even better since it's already accessible in pkg_install.
While it's taken as a command line argument, it doesn't seem to be parsed from 
pkg_install.conf.
What happens when PREFIX is not set? I looked inside some binary packages and 
while LOCALBASE is set, I have not seen PREFIX being added. Should it be part 
of newly generated packages then, or I am looking in the wrong places?
