in pkg_add(1)

I was looking through the source code of pkg_add. Personally I don't
see how the "-P" or "-p" option could be made to work with pkg_add.
Many of the installation commands involve scripts which have ${PREFIX}
hard coded into them. ${PREFIX} is often hard coded when trhe package
is created by the port. In my opinion, the options "-p" and "-P" should
be removed from pkg_add.
Either that, or provide the port a way to access "@cwd" in any scripts
it installs. But this would require a major overhaul of the whole ports
system, and probably much of the software it installs as well.
Am I missing something?
