Changes to the pkgsrc infrastructure:

 - Go packages are now versioned.  Instead of lang/go, there is lang/go19,
   lang/go110, and lang/go111.  Depending on the OS, an appropriate version
   is chosen as the default, and they can be installed simultaneously.

Instructions on using the binary package manager can be found at
http://pkgin.net, and pkgsrc itself can be retrieved from
https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc or via cvs or tar file -- see
https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/getting.html.  The branch name for
the 2018Q3 branch is "pkgsrc-2018Q3".
