watch out there. you wouldn't want your shell to do it's glob-
expansion before pkg_delete even sees the parameter. So, you
might want:
pkg_delete '*'
but probably not
pkg_delete *
when typing that in from "any directory".
disclaimer: I assume that's how it would work, but I'm not going
to try it myself to know for sure... :-)
