>Description:
When using -p with pkg_create(1) one must specify the full path to the prefix one is installing in. Example:

$ > desc; > comment; echo "bar" | pkg_create -f - -c comment -d desc -p $PWD ../foo.tbz
$

This doesn't work when using relative paths because it's looking for the files in the `playpen':

$ > desc; > comment; echo "bar" | pkg_create -f - -c comment -d desc -p . ../foo.tbz
tar: bar: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256
$

So my proposal is to change the argument so that it does a realpath on the path segment, s.t. the prefix is explicitly the path set (which makes sense, as a relative path would be nothing more than installing into the playpen, which makes absolutely no sense at all). I verified that this is the behavior that ports are currently using.

Positive test:
> desc; > comment; echo "bar" | /scratch/freebsd/perforce/pkg_install-enhancements/usr.sbin/pkg_install/create/pkg_create -f - -c comment -d desc -p . ../foo.tbz
$ bzcat ../foo.tbz

Negative test:
$ > desc; > comment; echo "bar" | /scratch/freebsd/perforce/pkg_install-enhancements/usr.sbin/pkg_install/create/pkg_create -f - -c comment -d desc -p /somewhere/that/does/not/exist ../foo.tbz
pkg_create: couldn't resolve path for prefix: /somewhere/that/does/not/exist: No such file or directory

The proposed patch also removes an unnecessary `@cwd .' from created plists added whenever -p is specified, as I noticed that @cwd was being added twice when I specified -p (even though I expected it to only be once).
>How-To-Repeat:
Provide a relative path to -p, i.e.:

. , ./ , usr/local, etc
>Fix:
See patch.
