bpm uses ftp(1) and pkg_add(1) to allow a menu-based addition of
binary packages from a URL. It first displays a list of categories,
and, within categories, binary packages, which can be added to the
local system simply by choosing them from a menu.
If no valid categories are found, a warning message will be displayed
(it is usually caused by people running NetBSD-current, and there are
rarely binary packages provided for such a fast-moving target, and the
"-r release" command-line switch to bpm(1) should be used).
Bump the pkg_install version number for this.
the file descriptor handling mess in lib/file.c.
also use --fast-read where applicable.

and spit out a warning if any of them differ. bail if the OS or arch

sanity checked by simonb. fixes PR pkg/18966 from mrg.
a null ("") argument properly (hi, Sun), so make -S a synonym for -s "".
Don't dump core if no command is given to pkg_admin(1).
Print usage message to stderr, not stdout, and use the program name by
which it was invoked.
Bump pkg_install version to 20030918.
ensuring that recursive pkg_delete'ing works by using the correct
pkg_dbdir to find packages. This fixes recursive deleting if the
-K flag is passed to pkg_delete(1), and the named dbdir differs from
the default dbdir (/var/db/pkg).
the file removal when deleting linkfarms if the expected file doesn't
exist. Since the symlink isn't there, the mission is already accomplished,
so why bother with the warning?
adding two new options to pkg_admin(1) to simply using this utility to
list the bare package names that match patterns when looking in PKG_DBDIR:
-b Print only the basenames when matching package names for
lsall and lsbest.
-d lsdir
Set lsdir as the path to the directory in which to find
matching package names for lsall and lsbest.
