We should adopt the following policy:  Before someone commits some big

full pkgsrc bulk build.  If the build fails, there is enough time to
fix occurring problems and rebuild.  Once the bulk build runs fine, the
diff can be committed to master.
This takes some time and delays the introduction of new "features", but
it should save us from broken pkgsrc builds ...
-100, neg, horrible solution.  can't let changes in world be dictated by whatever in pkgsrc.
Well it wouldn't necessarily have to dictate which action we take but it 
would surely help catch regressions like this beforehands. Though it 
seems a bit unwieldy given the time it takes.
