Hi pkgsrc crowd,

there have been lots of work on pkg_select since my last post. Many 
ideas everyone gave are now part of this import to pkgsrc-wip.
Among them :

. config file support
. pine-like [o]ther commands submenu
. default to show progress bars instead of shell output
  - this is of course configurable if you prefer seeing console output
. basic preference screen
. Remy Chibois's readline-like popup handling
. CVS checkout / update should be now fixed along with some improvements
. Ability to browse pkgsrc and perform binary installs over a live
  FTP link, i.e. without having pkgsrc installed on the system
  - test it with :
    pkg_select -l # will activate live-ftp, giving mirror choice
    pkg_select -l -m # do not read Makefiles from FTP mirror
    pkg_select -l [-m] -u ftp://some.pkgsrc/mirror

some changes are NetBSD-only related, but pkg_select still work on 
FreeBSD. Don't know yet for Darwin and OpenBSD.

As always, tests and feedback are welcome. Latest version is available 
from wip/pkg_select

Thanks,
