Sounds nice, but if package authors defined KEYWORDS related to their
package then we could also use '-k' as well as '-K' ala man, or is a
pkg whatis.db not wanted ? Would it be to my trouble for the code in
pkgsrc to maintain a whatis database based on the KEYWORDS defined in
a packages Makefile ? I imagine running make whatis after each pkgsrc
sup might be a pain and very slow.
