I thought about that. But since install makes sure uid is 0, I figured
this doesn't matter.

But, then again, some users try to use pkgsrc as non-root. So maybe it
should just email to the $USER doing the install.

Also, it would be nice if "root" new about new installs (but of course
root would know via /etc/security too) and about any important MESSAGEs.

Maybe it could be MAIL_MESSAGE=USER or ROOT, then if USER then mail it to
the user doing it.

I didn't test that. But I think it works, because multiple messages (if I
understand correctly) are concatenate together.
