HEADSUP: PACKAGE_BUILDING and BATCH to be removed from sysinstall

[Erwin Lansing]

For a long time, sysinstall is setting PACKAGE_BUILDING and BATCH while
installing packages[1].  As this is a ugly hack and abuse of the meaning
of those variables by some misbehaving packages, this behaviour needs to
be removed from sysinstall and those packages need to be fixed.  Unless
anyone can come up with a very good reason to keep those variable
present in sysinstall, I will remove them very soon.  If you have a port
that depends on this, please get your fixes is RSN.

Thank you,
-erwin
