   improvements for portability checks.

 - USE_PKG_ADMIN_DIGEST enables SHA256 digests for file identification
   rather than the $NetBSD$ CVS identifier.

 - Improvements and updates to the Haskell infrastructure.

Instructions on using the binary package manager can be found at
http://pkgin.net, and pkgsrc itself can be retrieved from
https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc or via cvs or tar file -- see
