I've just encountered what might be the first big and nearly show-
stopping issue with using pkgsrc-current on older NetBSD systems.

It is sysutils/user, which is not even remotely portable code, and not
even backwards portable to older NetBSD systems.  (There are also other
lesser issues with the whole idea, including the use in mk/install/*.)

For the moment I've simply assumed the QPOPPER_USER will exist:
