>Description:
Some useful enhancements to pkg_info(1) would be:
* Allow for querying of more than one variable at a time, by specifying
multiple -Q options
pkg_info -Q PKGPATH -Q PKGNAME
* Allow querying for a list of packages that have a variable set, and/or
packages that have a variable set to a specific value (and maybe even
a third variant to get a list of packages that do _not_ set the variable).
pkg_info -V variable_name
pkg_info -V variable_name=value
pkg_info -V \!variable
* Allow querying for a list of automatic packages. Currently we have -a
for "all" or -u for "user" but nothing for "automatic"
* When querying a variable in multiple packages, (optionally) print each
package name as well as the variable's value. Consider
pkg_info -Q PKGPATH \*
