The one that I would like to see implemented (I need more time...) is
that when I go

pkgadd pkg1 pkg2

and pkg1 depends on pkg2 it is smart enough to automatically install
pkg2 first followed by pkg1. Ditto pkgrm.

And also for the case where you go

pkgadd -d .

and select all, it installs then in dependency order.

I don't particularly want pkgadd to start retrieving packages from 3rd-party
repositories all of its own volition - it seems to me that there should be
higher
level tools (as indeed there are) to do that particular task.
