so if you do a brute-force pkg_info | grep <something> then for any
match you can use this to find what it is in pkgsrc. Thats good. You
still need to know that in some instances php is php5, and apache is
ap/ap2 depending. 

you can do pkg_info -Q PKGPATH \*php\*
www/ap-php
lang/php5

so wildcarding works directly as well. thats even better!

yep. the systems themselves do know, and thats good. But it confuses
simple humans (like me)

now I realize I can wildcard, I can stop doing brute force. thanks for
a cluestick hit.
