Here is the new patch. As discussed on IRC i just made an entity
called &pkgsrctree; so that we can change the way we call pkgsrc tree
without too much troubles.

I set the default to 'pkgsrc tree' but i don't really care about the
best name, so if you prefer to change it to 'pkgsrc collection',
'pkgsrc framework' or whatever do it.
