When pkgsrc needs to create a homedir for a pkgsrc user in which
to store data (eg: pgsql, and a teamspeak-server package I'm
planning on committing after the freeze), some packages
default the homedir to ${PREFIX}/${USER}. I'd like to suggest they
instead uses ${VARBASE}/${USER}, or possibly a (someone _please_
give a better name that doesn't involve DIY) ${HOMEBASE}/${USER}.
What do people think?
