Nice! Do you by any chance have any numbers that show the performance
improvements made by this change? Assuming that the SAT solver of
pkg(1) uses an algorithm similar to DPLL[1], a change like this would
affect performance linearly. My guess is therefore that the running
time is reduced by approximately 5/12. Is this correct?

By the way, why attach a zip file with a diff? GitHub's pull requests
are awesome! :-)
