I was giving openpkg a test run on one of my sol9 boxes and found something that
seems to be some kind of bug..

i installed the bootstrap as instructed but with different path, something like
this:

setenv opkg_root /opt/cw
sh openpkg*.sh --prefix=/opt/cw

this install files just fine but.. rpm -ql shows files are in /cw/ ..  I cannot
even make a query without generating a symlink from /opt/cw to /cw .. This
hardly makes the statement "Supports multiple instances" as valid ..

Also.. there seems to be some problems with rpm itself.. 

At this point i thought, ok, im going to stick with /cw symlink but the rest of
the programs will have to be installed to /opt/cw .. but now, everything goes
under /cw no matter what.

If i try to use --relocate /cw=/opt/cw things get even worse.. Package  installs
just fine BUT, rpm -ql package name says all the files are /optcw and that file
is the last that got extracted from that latest installed rpm .. Not good.

ALSO.. /cw/etc scripts seem to have /cw as hardcoded into the scripts.. It would
make a hell of a lot sense if this wouldnt be hardcoded but would use opkg_root
variable (and the existence of the opkg_variable would be verified)
