Bingo! That is what I'm looking for!

Say, do I need to list each PHP5 extension in the HOLD_PKG section? For
example, I have the following PHP5 extensions on top of the lang/php5 as
follows:

corvus-root@/usr/ports/databases/php5-sqlite: portversion -v | g php5

Is pkgtools a port that I need to install?

Another question: I also use portmaster and portmanager. Does these two
tools make use of the /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf file?
