I could've sworn there was a third-party module for pkg that
implemented boot environment supported, but I can't seem to locate it.
I might be confusing myself with the jail module, but perhaps someone
else knows of a boot environment module.

If one doesn't exist, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to
implement for someone sufficiently motivated.

Thanks,
