Ahh.. therein lies the confusion. I have been compiling ports for many
years. However the compilations began nagging about converting pkg2ng.
So I investigated, and set the appropriate "WITH_PKGNG=yes" and ran
pkg2ng. But I never use packages. I always compile from ports.

So the warning appearing in each and every compile was & is very
misleading. Unless I am *still* confused !!
