As I said:  "it's a _lot_ of Makefiles to patch".  If you want it, be my
guest and supply all the patches.  <big grin>

I wouldn't mind seeing symlinks that moved /usr/pkg/{info,man} into
/usr/pkg/share, though.  That could be a "documented option" in the
Packages.txt, perhaps?  Maybe something that pkgsrc would move
automatically?
