Yes, that's a bit unfortunate. The pkg_add man page comes from the
pkgsrc bootstrap and as such is not part of base. Maybe we can include
the pkgsrc bootstrap in the man pages? Cc: Justin

Actually, it's Sascha who has the man page generation working, so I'm
totally passing the buck on this.

Well, pkg_add is not part of our base, while pkg_radd is.

However, I've added leaf's /usr/pkg/man to the online manpage's search
path. pkg_add and the other package tools' manpages are now found.

It's not an optimal solution, though, since leaf's packages are not
guaranteed to be the same (version wise) as those provided on the LiveCD
or LiveDVD.
