Yes, such thought occurred to me. I wish pkgsrc had a feature where `work'
could reside on a separate path (which I'll keep on a separate FS). This
way I can keep deleting the work FS, but don't have to check out pkgsrc
too many times.

Or is there such feature already... (Will search through the guide.)
