Changes to the pkgsrc infrastructure:

- Stricter checks for SUBST_*, and expanded tests and performance
improvements for portability checks.
- Support virtualsize ulimits.
- USE_PKG_ADMIN_DIGEST enables SHA256 digests for file identification
rather than the $NetBSD$ CVS identifier.
- Improvements and updates to the Haskell infrastructure.
Instructions on using the binary package manager can be found at
http://pkgin.net, and pkgsrc itself can be retrieved from
https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc or via cvs or tar file -- see
https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/getting.html. The branch name for
the 2020Q1 branch is "pkgsrc-2020Q1".
Enjoy!
