	ugh, well I've got a partial solution:

1) Added a -N option to pkg_delete to remove the package registration
	and package database entries.  Files are not removed.  @unexec lines
	are not run.  Deinstall script is not run.
2) Added a few things to bsd.pkg.mk to use the -N flag when deinstalling
	a PKG_PRESERVE package while performing a update or replace.
3) Set PKG_DELETE in pkg_install/Makefile to use the newly built binary
	that includes the new flag.

Patch is at http://www.nimenees.com/pkgi.diff

Possible issues:
1) Upgrading to a package that has fewer/different files.  This isn't
	all that hard to fix, but it'll take more time than I have to work
	on it today.
2) "make install" no longer means "make update" (do we care?)
3) I have no idea how this interacts with pkgviews or whether anything
	special needs to be done there.
