Thanks.  Bigger changes are probably needed.  For
example, I just found that one can do

% bsdinstall jail /jails/www

to populate /jails/www with base.tgz and then do 
some other configuration stuff.  The current 
recommendation in jail(8) of using sysinstall 
for final configuration of a jail is perhaps
a bad idea.
