The problem is that I am trying to understand package construction.
I have paid very close attention to posts on that subject by Marc Espie. it's 
real clear to me from reading Marc's posts  that I do not understand large 
parts of the process. I haven't found much, if anything, about package 
construction anywhere in the OpenBSD documentation. I would be real happy to 
get some pointers to documentation (or a tutorial).
