a couple typos, and consistent double-spacing after sentences.
This is actually a spinoff from the "ports-current discontinued"
blow-up some time ago.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
later at pkg_delete time to verify that you're deleting what you added.
This, of course, does NOT cover the case where a file you still need
hasn't changed! That's a tougher problem to solve, and this provides
only the minimal amount of safety belt. MD5 checksums are stored in comment
fields, so packages produced with these tools are backwards compatible with
the older ones.
Running there you got any kind of strange errors from tar caused
by treating directories as tar files!
Fix it by adding new isfile(name) (check for reg. files) to simple fexists(name) calls.
pkg_manage silently dumps core, pkg_info claims about them to
stderr, which makes very difficult to find what directory cause it via
tons of pkg_info -a output. I found solution which covers both variants,
now pkg_info claims about missing files to stdout among valid output
with ERROR: prefix. It heals pkg_manage to not dump core and makes
easy to find errors in pkg_info -a output by simple /ERROR 'more' command.

2. Add a "feature" to pkg_create (OK, OK, it's a miserable hack!) to get
it to dump its internal packing list out so that the `fake-pkg' rule in
bsd.port.mk can generate a more meaningful packing list.
Index descriptions are limited to MAXINDEXSIZE (60) chars. Any description
beyond that is truncated. Also, only the first line is displayed as well.
This allows pkg_info -a -I to be formated in two columns with one line
per package for easy reading.

-q turns on "quiet" mode, where informational headers and such are not
dumped, just the information.
-L Shows full pathnames of files comprising a package. With -q,
this can be useful for doing fileset operations, such as
"du -s `pkg_info -q -L foo_bin`" to see how much space package
"foo_bin" is taking up.
