In pkg_*, we have several places that run REQUIRE, (DE)INSTALL
etc. scripts like this (pseudo code):

	if (script exists) {
		chmod +x script
		./script someargs
	}

The problem is that the scripts in question are usually in /var/db/pkg,
and if someone has /var mounted noexec, that's a problem. A possible
solution is:

	if (script exists) {
		sh script someargs
	}

The implications are that

 * /var can be mounted noexec
 * The scripts MUST be /bin/sh scripts, no executables, perl scripts etc.
   allowed.

Is the latter a problem for anyone?
