Also, this adds support for naive multi-site package fetching.

Any comment welcome (and appreciated).

Hi flz,

I don't quite get what the end goal is. It looks like /etc/pkg.conf is duplicating a lot of things already in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.

Would not it be better to just have the pkg_install tools read that file instead ?

I probably missed all the back story here, so feel free to put me in my place.

The multi-site package fetching is definitely something I'm interested it, but I also figured it would just iterate over the values in PACKAGESITE

PACKAGESITE=ftp://foo/stdpath/base/Latest/ ftp://foo/stdpath/www/Latest

where base would have things like sudo, bash, vim, etc... and could be used on multiple computers.

www would have things like apache22 mod_X and would be used on 'www' class machines.
