I would not opposite to supporting alternatives framework. but I have
a few questions.

What is current status of alternatives framework?

I couldn't find documentation in pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.txt and
pkg_alternatives is optional tool.

So, I understand it as "another way." and there should be other way
(as symlink ${PREFIX}/bin/ruby18 as ${WRKDIR}/.buildlink/bin/ruby or
somthing?)
