Setting PKGDIR is evil!

>From pkg_add(1):

[...]
     -K      Keep any downloaded package in PKGDIR if it is defined or in cur-
             rent directory by default.
[...]
     The environment variable PKGDIR specifies an alternative location to save
     downloaded packages to when -K option is used.
[...]

For me it reads like "set PKGDIR in /etc/profile to have a local cache
for fetched packages". This is still a bug since 1.66.2.2 of pkg_add(1)
