This would be a good time to include ports-mgmt/pkg_search into

It would be a better idea to put the pkg_* tools IN the ports tree
where they belong. :)
Wouldn't this lead to a chicken-egg problem for those who use
packages? How would one go about installing the package installer?
1) The system installer installs the package that contains the latest
version of the pkg_* tools by default.
2) Have a stub program in the base whose only purpose is to download and
install the latest version of the pkg_* tools.
The benefits of this are that we can introduce new features to the pkg_*
tools very quickly, rather than with a 3 year (or more) lead time like
we do now.
