I see where my error was:  I was reading his internal function

create_package()

to be the same as pkg_create.

           eval pkg_create "${PKG_ARGS}"


I get it! :)  This is exactly was I was looking for a few weeks ago- so 
it's pretty easy to bundle up installed items in case an update goes 
wild or something, after all.

Thanks all,

Brian
