Thanks, but this doesn't offer any enhancements over my current method
and it would need modifying to work on Solaris (e.g. avoiding ftp(1)).

My bootstrap kit comes with the current pkg_install, and also a fully
configured pkgin package, so users can start pkgin right away after
pasting that one command.
