That's not enough, unfortunately.
If I use the mk.conf.example file generated right now, pkgs will end up in
the db-dir I give to the "bootstrap" script. But when I then just type
"pkg_info", I don't see anything as it looks in /var/db/pkg.
That's what my patch solves.

So, are there any objections to commit this?
