Making syspkgs and makefs play nice together

[Lloyd Parkes <lloyd%must-have-coffee.gen.nz@localhost>]

Hi all,
I want to be able to build filesystems from syspkgs/pkgsrc format  
packages and there are a few things that need to be ironed out before  
this can happen.

I want to add an unprivileged mode to pkg_add that will probably be  
enabled automatically if you aren't running it as root. In this mode  
it will not try and set any file permissions.

I also want to eliminate all @exec PLIST commands from syspkgs.  
syspkgs only uses them for creating file system objects that the PLIST  
can't otherwise describe (probably). This really isn't the right way  
to do it, and in general it won't work for me. I think I can eliminate  
them all by back-porting/pulling-up the implementation of the @pkgdir  
PLIST command.

I can then write an AWK program to convert a package's PLIST into an  
mtree specification for makefs.

Comments anyone?

Cheers,
Lloyd
