>Description:
	The definition of PKG_SYSCONFBASE in the default configuration file for pkgtools/pkg_comp is /etc, but the man page says the default is /usr/pkg/etc. This is bad since it could result in binary packages build using pkg_comp unexpectly putting the config file in the wrong place (/etc) causing unexpected errors, especially to the newbie.
	It seems that the definition of PKG_SYSCONFBASE in the pkg_comp script is expanding the definition of LOCALBASE in the line
	PKG_SYSCONFBASE="${LOCALBASE}/etc"
	to be
	PKG_SYSCONFBASE="/etc"
	while writing the config file.
>How-To-Repeat:
	run "pkg_comp maketemplate" and compare the PKG_SYSCONFBASE line in the generated default.conf with the one embedded in the pkg_comp script.
>Fix:
	Change the pkg_comp script so that it's written without environment variable expansion.
