As most of you no doubt know I've been building and installing packages
with LOCALBASE=/usr lately.  Here are a few of the quirks I see.

Note that initially I've found the following symlinks to be necessary:

	/usr/etc -> ../etc
	/usr/info -> share/info
	/usr/man -> share/man
	/usr/var -> ../var

Things seem to be working OK so far, though I've not done a lot of
testing of applications yet (only development tools!  ;-).

The following errant symlink was created by tcl80:

	/usr/tclsh -> tclsh8.0

I'm not really sure what these two messages mean, though they don't seem
to have caused any problems (I suspect the pkg_* tools are
misunderstanding when relative symlinks should be used, which is almost
*ALWAYS*).

===>  Registering installation for tcl-8.0p2
Full pathname symlink `/usr/include/tcl8.0/generic/tcl.h' is target of `/usr/include/tcl8.0/tcl.h' - adjusting to `../../include/tcl8.0/generic/tcl.h'

===>  Registering installation for tk-8.0p2
Full pathname symlink `/usr/include/tk8.0/generic/tk.h' is target of `/usr/include/tk8.0/tk.h' - adjusting to `../../include/tk8.0/generic/tk.h'

Because of the above symlinks almost every "make install" also reports:
