Bartlomiej: Well, we _want_ people to be port maintainers, and build proper packages (using sed and diff/patch if needed); adding features which make it easier not to do that seems quite detrimental to that goal.
As a more generic remark, it's very easy to extend pkgutils and add features, it's just not the goal. This approach may sometimes involve a little more work by the user, but keeps the system simpler overall. This patch is a good example of that.

I don't like the patch() build() and install() functions either, it just was the only solution I could think of.
Another thing I have thought is that instead of using "-b" or "--build" it would be better to use something like "-bw" or "--build-work", or perhaps "-rw" "--resume-work", to make more clear what would happen.
And instead of a variable named PKGMK_BUILD in /etc/pkgmk.conf, we could use PKGMK_RESUME_WORK, PKGMK_REUSE_WORK, or something like that.

This is not adding features for sake of assing features, this is adding features that are helpful,
#1 not everyone wants to be port maintainer nor have time for this, so this nifty option allows faster building and tweaking packages,
#2 sometimes when i want to check quikly if certain applications build's ok, such option is a blessing, no mangling with sed or diff.
alancio: thanks for support ;], I agree that created package shouldn't be deleted, but in my opinion patch() build() and install() functions are not necessary, and makes porting more complicated.
