  | I don't want base stuff mixed up with package stuff.  Is that not
  | part of the point of having a /usr/pkg hierarchy in the first
  | place?  I don't want half my packages under one prefix and half
  | under another.

It would be nice if that were easily possible, but the X11R6 tree is
a mess, filled with all kinds of different stuff.   Some packages
depend up being able to insert files into the app-defaults directory.
Putting the file elsewhere needs one of several different workarounds,
none of which can be automatically handled by pkgsrc.

Personally I use

/usr/pkg/lib/X11/app-defaults /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults union rw,hidden

in /etc/fstab - but I certainly don't want pkgsrc to do that for me
(and without "hidden" which anything before -current can't do, this
makes a real mess of df output).
