     bsdinstall: do pkgbase installations with the "script" command

     "bsdinstall script" will now do a pkgbase installation by default.  The
     system components to install can be specified in the COMPONENTS
     variable, and have the same names as those used in the interactive
     installer.  bsdinstall will still do a legacy distset installation if
     DISTRIBUTIONS is defined in the installerconfig file.
