I agree, there are definately times when it would be nice to have one more
level of hierarchy, ie, catergory/program for the program and
catergory/program-modules/{mod1,mod2,...} for each of the optional
modules.  This (textproc/ted) is a good example.  Some of the www/ap-*
packages could also maybe be good candidates, same for lang/php3-*.  I
don't understand enough of the inner workings of either the pkg_* tools or
the pkgsrc/mk/* makefiles to know what that would take.
