How does pkg knows the path to add in any other package when you use
prefix? I see ocs is having the same problem... probably all
multi-packages using PKG_ADD have it.
We could use the NEWS file or maybe the documentation to get the
installation path of the package...I do not see how to od it for an
arbitrary prefix in the arch dependent files....
Ideas?
PS: I am adding Carlo and Rik to the discussion. Since this may be
something to tackle more generally.
