So the list of pkgs has grown.. and more down the line.  We probably
have the most current and extensive repository of FreeBSD arm pkgng
around at this point.

If anyone else is building them, ping me offline.

The point of these little arm boards isn't just to let them sit around
and run an operating system for itself.  They need to have pkgs, to give
them a function...
