The only additional step to the current package split procedure is
to take the INDEX file for each disc, add '|N' to the end of each
line, where 'N' is the volume number. Then the INDEX for each disc is
concatenated into one master INDEX so that each disc has an index with
all of the packages on all of the volumes -- instead of only the
packages for the current volume.
This isn't something that can or should be added to bsd.port.mk or
anything. It is just a 1 line sed script and a cat(1) command -- it
might be something to tack on to the end of Steve's package split
scripts. This is one example of where it makes sense for the INDEX on
a CDROM to slightly diverge from the INDEX created by "make index" in
the ports tree.
