Another item for the wish list:

I'd also like to see a way to recreate PKG_SYSCONFDIR from the examples
tree.  Why?  Suppose you have PKG_SYSCONFBASE=/etc/pkg and /usr/pkg shared
among several computers.

It'd be nice to be able to simply recreate a clean /etc/pkg tree on each
of the machines using the same /usr/pkg tree.

Well, this could really affect all the files managed by the install scripts,
not only those in PKG_SYSCONFBASE; i.e., any files needed under VARBASE, or
any other place, could have to be recreated if necessary.

Cheers,
