Oh, really?  I was under the impression that with perl-5.20.0nb1 you can only 
install p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder versions older than 0.28.02.16, because newer 
versions rely on perl 5 newer than 5.20...

And, by the way, it was a PITA to upgrade from perl5.18 to perl 5.20 via 
pkg_rolling-replace, essentially, i had to do it by hand by removing any traces 
of some packages via pkg_delete -fN.  the aforementioned was one of those.
