- make /sbin/e2fsck and /sbin/fsck_ext2fs visible in pkg catalog/"pkg which",

so that "pkg which /sbin/e2fsck" yields the proper result.

  * this entails symlinking from $PREFIX/sbin to /sbin, and the pkg-install
    script will attempt to replace the symlinks by hard links if possible.
    pkg 1.15.4 cannot deal with packaged hard links and will fail.

  * Note that it is unavoidable that these be in /sbin because /usr/local or
    /usr may not be mounted and consequently ext2 file systems could not
    be fsck-ed or mounted from /etc/fstab.

  There will be no port option to avoid /sbin installs for now. We have too
  many options already and the testing effort increases exponentially.

- make sure pkg-message appears on both install and upgrade

- clean up and document/comment pkg-install so that armchair experts
  will not pester me with meaningless change requests

- bugfix/change: logic of mke2fs.conf upgrade handling to present less work for
  users on port/package upgrades

- bump PORTREVISION
