Thanks everyone for your input.

Few things --

First, I apologize, I said I was following current, I'm actually
following stable -- sorry about that, I was getting extremely tired by
that point.

Second, I posted shortly after that I did actually remove the package
with pkg_delte, I know it is burried under a few posts -- so it was
nice and removed, all is well on that front.

Third, the reason I wanted to do what I was trying to do was that I
wanted some compile-time options that were not present in the
pre-compiled binary.  I used "mbstring" as an example, but there were
others that OBSD did not create packages for (that I could find), like
Tidy, for example.

Finally, I did eventually go back to regular package.  I found out
that these options I wanted were not entirely necessary, so I figured
I'd just go back to packages.

Thanks again for your responses.

Chris
