Log Message:
Add set2pkg to othersrc - a small script to convert an installed set to a
pkgsrc package.

set2pkg allows us to convert from a set-based installation to being
able to use pkgsrc tools to maintain the base system.  This has
nothing to do with syspkgs, which have been around for over 15 years
but have gained little, if any, traction.

Firstly, you can convert a single set, any number of sets, or all sets
using set2pkg:

        % sudo set2pkg -a
        Converting base to netbsd-base-20160610
        Converting comp to netbsd-comp-20160610
        Converting etc to netbsd-etc-20160610
        Converting games to netbsd-games-20160610
        Converting man to netbsd-man-20160610
        Converting misc to netbsd-misc-20160610
        Converting modules to netbsd-modules-20160610
        Converting tests to netbsd-tests-20160610
        Converting text to netbsd-text-20160610
        Converting xbase to netbsd-xbase-20160610
        Converting xcomp to netbsd-xcomp-20160610
        Converting xetc to netbsd-xetc-20160610
        Converting xfont to netbsd-xfont-20160610
        Converting xserver to netbsd-xserver-20160610
        % pkg_info -I netbsd-\*

metadata files which describe the installed sets on a machine.

We can now try them out, check entries, etc:
