 This never got committed... not sure if it's still necessary. And,
 kre, none of your other pkg_comp fixes seem to have been either -- all
 but one of the PRs I cited earlier in the discussion here back in 2010
 are still open.
 
 I also notice that in the meantime jmmv did a big rewrite of pkg_comp,
 so maybe it's all irrelevant now? I don't know, and I don't habitually
 use pkg_comp so I'm not in a good position to make decisions.
 
 What's the best thing to do moving forward? It would be nice to sort
 this out properly since these are among the oldest open pkgsrc PRs at
 this point.
