Can we document how users who want to build from source can do so from a new installation
that uses pkgbase?  I guess it is something like:

- pkg install sources if not already (or git clone the right branch/tag)
- etcupdate bootstrap
- <destroy the pkgbase repo> (clearly can't just use pkg delete with a glob, so need
   something else)
