That needs doing for pkg_add anyway. The number of packages that
have dependencies on the other CD is far too many. Having to make
a note of the "missing" dependencies, swap CDs, pkg_add them, change
CDs and add the original package is a PITA for those who know what
they're doing but it must give newbies a real headache _and_ it
makes FreeBSD look bad.
