 * I suspect this is work-in-progress, so I am not filing it as a bug report,
 * rather mentioning it in case it has slipped by??
 * 
 * pkg_manage looks like a SUPERB tool, just what I always wanted, thank you,
 * only; when it starts, it seems to want to find all the info on my installed
 * packages in tarballs in the /var/db/pkg/.. area. This fails 'cos I build all
 * my packages myself, and bypass the tarball phase. OTOH, is this a blatant
 * bug? should it not be looking directly at the 3 +<foo> files in the
 * package directories?

If you've picked up the bsd.port.mk and pkg_install from -current,
"make install" in a port should have registered the package (just like 
you did "pkg_add") for you.
