>Description:
If you try to install a package using pkg_add from a URL, pkg_add will recursively attempt to download and install dependancies.  This is not always desired behavior.

It also adds "All" to the path it is trying to download from.  This is probably only relevant to FreeBSD archives.
>How-To-Repeat:
pkg_add http://somesite/somepath/package1.tbz
package1 requires package2, which is not available at /somepath/All/
>Fix:
Add a command line option to disable recursive package installations.

Return a different result code if dependancies are unavailable so that scripters can identify the problem.
