What do you mean?  Does the tar bundle not work?

I had a "pkgsend -o" wad worked up some time ago, but was never convinced I
had it designed right.  I think the dump should be part of pkgsend, but
it's not clear to me whether it should be a flag to open, import, close, or
some combination.  Or even just another subcommand that does nothing but
dump a manifest representing a bundle, leaving you to open/include/close an
actual transaction (and requiring that include be able to pull files not
just from a directory tree, but from the original tarfile).
