I would have them be completely divorced from the core O/S, such

the person installing it so desires. If they are absolutely
required (and in my estimation, there should be no reason for them
to be required), then the core O/S utilities should be statically
linked so that they do not conflict with other versions that may be
installed at a later by the user. This gives the user the freedom
of choice to use /usr/sfw or /opt/sfw, or not.
The reason they are required is that pkgadd natively supports
installing software via http: and https: with the "-d device" option.
What is needed for this ? "wget" and/or openssl ?
openssl. Note though that if it used wget there would still be
a requirement for OpenSSL for use by wget.
