Made pkg_add -n less bitchy.
Made -p in pkg_add override "default" package location in pkg_create.
Added concept of "slave" and "master" modes, allowing many different things
to be done to packing lists on the fly. This is really something for
front-end drivers to use, but also something for the more expert user.
