I like the idea of also providing a self-installing package, and it seems r=
eally
easy to do, so I'll try to see what I can do in this area I'll wrote a PoC =
in 5
minutes which looks pretty good, this could also be a very simple and easy =
way
to integrate into bsdinstaller.

I'll do work in that direction.

Still it doesn't solve the problem of boostrapping pkgng in a fresh new box,
because the user may not know where to download the pkg-setup.sh.
