I've been trying to get BIN_PACKAGES to work by putting
"BIN_PACKAGES=Yes" in mk.conf, by exporting it to my environment and
by running "BIN_PACKAGES=Yes make install" to install a port.  It's
not working.  My PKG_PATH variable _is_ set and I can successfully
add, say, screen-4.0.2-static with "sudo pkg_add screen-4.0.2-static".

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
