This would still require touching his software for it to work properly,
if I'm not mistaken. I personally wouldn't want to type
pkg_add -p /foo daemontools-0.76.tgz and see it actually pop up
in /package, with just symlinks going to /foo. Examples:
o I want to chroot a package in some location. I can't do this with
symlinks.
o I'm out of space on my / partition, but I have plenty of space
in /foo.
Of course, I might have just misunderstood what you meant.. :-)
