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.

Suggested by David Brownlee.

5afe583924 Stop phantasizing about merging pkgs back into FreeBSD, instead tell people
to submit patches that apply without fuzz. (Maybe someone could explain the
exact issues with this).

fd7b118f38 Some packages use bsd-style .mk files when building, and so any manual
pages that are installed will be gzip-compressed, if MANZ is set, or
not if MANZ is not set.  If the package uses bsd-style .mk files, the
variable MANCOMPRESSED_IF_MANZ should be set to a value of "yes" in
the package Makefile.  This replaces the previous method of specific
inclusion of bsd.prefs.mk, followed by a check for MANZ and
conditional assignment of MANCOMPRESSED.

Add appropriate documentation, and change all necessary ocurrences in
package Makefiles.

451334fdb0 - mention pkgsrc/mk/mk.conf.example at some points I found reasonable
- description of all available options and variables is in packages(7)
- add note that part of the import/update process for a package is also noting it in doc/pkg-CHANGES
- add some warning comment in the "CPP defines" section - current no longer defines "unix" or "__unix__", so the proposed method is no longer reasonable. Someone who knows how to solve this cleanly should redo this section.
