well, to be honest i've been really busy -and still unfortunately is- 
at work, i also sort of delayed my work on pkg_select :/

In fact the point is not to have any category dir, just a directory with 
binary packages, the extension i'm writing builds a virtual pkgsrc 
hierarchy from packages using pkg_info -B

> Is this in as environment variable?

yes, by now i retrieve the value with getenv()

indeed, that's why i'd prefer have grownups feedback on the matter ;)

as said before, the keypoint is not to have any pkgsrc hierarchy, so i 
won't be able to evaluate anything that's not present on the build 
informations.

Thanks for your feedback
