This option saves packages to PKGDIR (if defined or current directory by default)
as they are downloaded.
Silent a warning when -n is used and package has a +DISPLAY file.

given prefix is also used recursively for the dependency packages,
if any. If the -P flag appears after any -p flag on the
command line, it overrides it's effect, causing pkg_add to use the
given prefix recursively.

enable the use as a port on older systems
- use absolute paths in all calls to external programs, to account for strange
PATH settings
- use INDEX or INDEX-5 depending on FreeBSD version, to enable the use on
FreeBSD 4.x as a port.
- conditionalize all 4.x/5.x differences on __FreeBSD_version, so that the
pkg_install tools can be kept in sync on 4.x and 5.x
- Bump PKG_INSTALL_VERSION

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.
1. pkg_create now has a -P argument for specifying dependencies on the
command line.
2. pkg_add will honor dependencies and chain-load them automatically if
it finds the required package(s) in the same directory as the package
that is being loaded. For best results, install packages from a directory
containing all the packages you'll possibly need
(like /usr/ports/packages/all).
2 remaining flaws:
1. pkg_add looks in one place (where you were when you loaded the primary
pkg) for depended packages. If you can come up with a search path scheme
that's not a total hack - be my guest!
2. Recursive dependency expansion can result in the name of a dep being
listed more than once. This doesn't bother pkg_add since it checks
for package existance with pkg_info and will skip already-loaded packages.
I don't know how/if pkg_delete handles this yet, however. I need to look
into it.
Made pkg_add -n less bitchy.
Made -p in pkg_add override "default" package location in pkg_create.
Added concept of "slave" and "master" modes, allowing many different things
to be done to packing lists on the fly. This is really something for
front-end drivers to use, but also something for the more expert user.
rename()'ing files before trying to copy them, thus saving
considerable time when targets and staging area are on same filesystem.
