It would be nice if some of the more usable functions got moved out of
rc.subr though :(... It would cure 20 lines of duplicate code here and
elsewhere outside of rc land...

Yes, and you're assuming that users won't do:

PKG_DBDIR :=3D /my /super /special/ directory with spaces

Granted, a lot of things probably won't work that way, but just
