Actually, ignore this.  While it would be the simplest option and have 
the benefit of ensuring the tooling is version controlled, it could just 
be done within e.g. the pkgsrc-ci org or by polling, so that everything 
is kept completely separate from pkgsrc itself, and I want to avoid any 
potential objections.
