But surely the whole point of pkgng is that people *will* use pkg as the =
default method of acquiring third-party software, so they'll want to =
"pkg install foo" and have it Just Work. To say either "you must =
download the ports tree in order to use binary packages" or "you must =
use pkg_add to install pkg" seems to miss the point...
