I think this is an excellent idea (as we discussed a while back).  It
    will allow us to set a default target for downloading packages for all
    of our distributions and generally make things a whole lot easier
    to deal with.

    The only issue that came up last time it was discussed was the fact
    that pkg_add tries to get a full directory every time it accesses
    via a HTTP address, which can take a while.  I recall Joerg saying
    that was being worked on.  I think we can live with it until it gets
    dealt with by the pkgsrc folks.
