Nothing has changed for a few years.  Last time I did any work 
on syspkgs, they were created correctly, and could be installed 
and removed using appropriate commands, but there was no easy or 
menu-driven way of installing them.  Since then, the pkg_* tools 
have changed in such a way that the method used by syspkgs to 
manage directories no longer works.
