  My quick notes on how to get started with pkgsrc
  
  More info:	http://pkgsrc.org/
  			http://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/pkgsrc_64bit_osx/
  			
  # Download pkgsrc
  curl -O https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/stable/pkgsrc.tar.bz2
  # validate shasum
  $ curl -O https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/stable/pkgsrc.tar.bz2.SHA1
  $ cat pkgsrc.tar.bz2.SHA1
  $ shasum pkgsrc.tar.bz2
  # extract pkgsrc archive. Mine lives at ~/Work and I also install built packages under Work.
  $ tar jxvf pkgsrc.tar.bz2
  # bootstrap
  $ cd pkgsrc/bootstrap
  $ ./bootstrap --abi=64 --prefer-pkgsrc=yes --unprivileged --compiler=clang --prefix="$HOME/Work/pkg"
  # append prefix/bin to your PATH
  $ cat ~/.bash_profile
  export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Work/pkg/bin"
  # re-login to make PATH effective
  # Example build of dos2unix (poor example because lots of dependencies like perl...)
  $ cd pkgsrc/converters/dos2unix/
  $ bmake install
  ...
  ===> Installing binary package of dos2unix-7.3.3
  
  $ file ~/Work/pkg/bin/dos2unix
  /Users/petri/Work/pkg/bin/dos2unix: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
