After some more discussion I arrived at the opinion that pkgsrc
should handle all directories automatically by proper refcounting.
However, the refcounting should be in the pkgtools themselves
instead of shell scripts like currently, to avoid quoting issues
and performance problems.

I have not started working on this though.
