People seem to get bit fairly often, in various ways, by stale pkgsrc
work dirs. What's the purpose of leaving ${WRKDIR} around after, e.g.,
"install" or "package"? What would be the drawbacks of automatically
"clean"ing, by default, after user-oriented targets? Of course, we'd
want to avoid auto-cleaning if PKG_DEVELOPER is set.
Comments? What haven't I thought about?
