>Description:
I just built some packages in a chroot (using pkgsrc/mk/bulk/mksandbox)
and somehow ended up with a shell where /usr/pkg/bin was not in
PATH. The following packages failed to build:

archivers/zip (tries to run "unzip")
print/teTeX-bin (tries to run "texconfig")
devel/php4-gettext (mysterious error)
databases/php4-mysql (mysterious error)

adding /usr/pkg/bin to PATH and restarting the build solved all the problems.

>How-To-Repeat:
Build packages using pkgsrc/mk/bulk/mksandbox.

>Fix:
Not sure, but it seems to me that if some package require /usr/pkg/bin
in PATH this should "just work", no matter what the shell that I start
the build from is set to. Especially since this was the default that I
got from "mksandbox".

It also seems that this somehow ought to be handled by bsd.pkg.mk, and
not in individual packages (the ones above are just those I happened
to stumble upon, I built far from the entire pkgsrc). I haven't looked
at the code at all though, maybe there already is some special PATH handling.
