40e6f0a5ed add a note suggesting that LOCALBASE should only be for pkgsrc and not
shared with other programs to prevent conflicts.  Hopefully this will help
avoid people trying to do things like LOCALBASE=/usr as in PR pkg/10783.

ef268dcf91 Define a new target, "show-pkgsrc-dir", which prints the directory
from which an installed package can be re-installed.  This can be used
to build up a list of host specific packages, which is useful, for
example, in re-building all packages on a machine for a.out to ELF
transition.

c650583872 Warn about too-generous wildcard dependencies, which may prove bogus (using
tk-* as example). Also fix no more accurate info regarding wildcard deps -
they are now retained even for binary packages.
