The environment variable PKG_PREFIX is set to the first @cwd command
in the packing list, or the argument to -p if it is specified, before
the requirements/installation/deinstallation scripts are called. This
enables the scripts to be written to work on the final installation
destination, even if the user uses -p to override the package's default.
