>Description:
	When I adding a binary package which was created by very old days
	(or manually created by pkg_create(1)), it cause error:

# pkg_add foo-1.1.tgz
pkg_add: unable to open +BUILD_INFO file.
pkg_add: can't read build information from +BUILD_INFO: No such file or directory
pkg_add: aborting.
pkg_add: 1 package addition failed

	This error isn't very informative for general users since it
	dosen't describe why such an error was occured.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to add a very old package.
>Fix:
	Since pkg_create(1) dosen't mandate "-B" option which speicfy
	+BUILD_INFO file, pkg_add(1) should warn the missing of +BUILD_INFO
	file and add the pacakge.
