bootstrap install to non-default location #307

Description

Looks like joyent pkgsrc bootstrap installs to the default location /usr/pkg. Is there a way to customize the prefix, say, to non-previleged directory like $HOME/pkg?

This is what I was talking about - in e.g., https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-linux/, it says

# Install bootstrap kit to /usr/pkg
sudo tar -zxpf ${BOOTSTRAP_TAR} -C /

If I change to -c $HOME/pkg, then when I do pkgin list, it will complain "cannot find /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_admin". So it apparently is "hard coded".
