>Description:
If I do 'make readme' at the top of the pkgsrc (usually
'/usr/pkgsrc'), it fails saying

  cd: can't cd to /usr/pkgsrc/packages

This is caused by the target 'binpkg-list' defined in
'bsd.pkg.mk' assumes the directory ${PACKAGES} already exists.

  binpkg-list:
  	@\
  	cd ${PACKAGES};					\
  ...

>How-To-Repeat:
1. cleanly install a NetBSD base system.
2. get the pkgsrc distribution and extract it, e.g. at
   '/usr/pkgsrc'.
3. do
     cd /usr/pkgsrc; make readme
>Fix:
I have no idea when the '${PACKAGES}' directory should be
created.
