Since this additional check was implemented because of a bug report
that caused a pkg_add core dump, I'm against allowing -f to override
this.

The problem is that the package might have an INSTALL that runs a
program that actually needs the REQUIRED library.

Probably one(TM) could also improve that part so that pkg_add doesn't
dump core when an INSTALL script fails to run completely, but that's
not implemented yet and before that I'm against adding the override.
