 The option to disable checksumming is included.
 I don't want to include an option for pkg-summary as I don't see the
 need for that. It will create more problems in the future when tools
 like pkg_add will depend on it. It is also not that slow. For a full set
 of binaries, the generations needs around 3min of time when reading the
 packages from disk,  40s of that is actual computation time. Compared to
 the build time of even the simple packages, this doesn't fall into the
 weight.
