I forgot to mention that part of the refactoring was merging the
developer & documentation packages into the base packages, so if
you pkg install terminal/xterm you get the xterm man page, and if
you pkg install x11/library/libx11 you get the libX11 header files.

To control which components are installed, you use the "facet"
system built into the pkg(5) system, as described in:

http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/pkg/gate/doc/facets.txt

To see the current facet settings on your system, run "pkg facet".
If you've not set any, it will normally print an empty list.  Any
facet not set defaults to "true" so the files will be installed.

To change a facet setting, run "pkg change-facet <name>=<value>"
such as "pkg change-facet facet.doc*=False" to remove/not install
any form of documentation.   For now, the pkg command will always
create a new BE to make these changes in - a fix for that is in
progress from the pkg(5) team.
