I can't speak for the change, since it's in Perl. What I can say
is that pkgsrc is really not designed or meant to be used as you
are doing it (just the package directories that you want).  This
is because, whenever a prerequsite package is defined, the mecahnism
for finding its version number and/or package name is to cd to the
given directory and work out the ${PKGNAME} from the Makefile there.

The weekly tar file is not that large...
