No plans yet. These are all built as non-root: so /home/reed/pkg is 
hard-coded in many, many places.

Later, I may use a jail and run as root.

Yes.

I have committed some fixes. And I have several more to commit as I test. 
Also, in many cases I ask the maintainer for an okay before I commit to 
their package.

I have not looked at.

Whenever you make a fix, (in addition to pkgsrc) please send it directly 
to the upstream developer(s) for the software (using their developer 
mailing lists or bug reporting system). It is important that the original 
software properly supports the operating system and this makes it easier 
for pkgsrc and other package maintainers (and users who build from source) 
in the long run. Thanks!
