 Another plan that I have in-motion is to [eventually] MFC bsdconfig to 9.x.
 
 Since bsdconfig is all about resurrecting sysinstall's post-install capabil=
 ities (package management included), the lay-of-the-land in 9.x should be:
 
 sysinstall is for legacy package management
 bsdconfig is for pkgng-based package management
 
 We should re-evaluate this PR whence bsdconfig is MFC'd to a 9 release as I=
  suspect it will fill the need/requirements of this PR.

 NOTE: bsdconfig is already in HEAD and you can play with it -- but you need=
  WITH_BSDCONFIG in src.conf(5) (alternatively, if you have the source check=
 ed out, you can simply cd to usr.sbin/bsdconfig and say "make all install" =
 to get started with bsdconfig(8) immediately).
