Precedence: bulk

I think the wider objective should be to make wildcarding work
for all the pkg_foo tools (where it makes sense).

That is to say that it should be possible to say:

     pkg_info '*apache*'
     pkg_delete 'emacs*'

etc.  And no, I don't have time to write the code which takes a regexp
and iteratively matches it against directory components in
/var/db/pkg, but I can certainly say that it should be easy enough to
implement for anyone who DOES have the time. :-)
