Right; we'd always been able to update pkg_install, but the addition of
"digest" made that impossible.  It's been hacked to work by wiz, for the
moment.

All of this doesn't explain well the separate nature of digest (and even why
it's statically linked)... since it's used solely for generating checksums
for package registration, it really belongs in pkg_install as a companion to
pkg_create.  That just seems quite natural.
