For bootstrap-pkgsrc:

It would be nice if you added commented out "need_bsd_install=no" to the
other operating systems, for consistency

I'm not sure why you need an "opsys=IRIX" in there - what's returned
by uname -s?  IRIX5, IRIX6, etc?

We should gather together the cpp-definitions which are used by each port -
e.g. __sgi__ for IRIX, __NetBSD__ etc

I've still to look into the other changes, but this looks REALLY useful,
thanks.

Take care,
