The .tar.gz files are just regular tarballs, the .tgz files are FreeBSD
packages you can add and track with the pkg_* commands.

All we need is an interface in sysinstall that can show the user the
document matrix, showing the document, the language, and the format it's
available in.

Then we just hook in to sysinstall's existing post-install package
addition functionality.
