Summary:                    RFE: Point out package download location when
downloading
Description: 
When downloading a package (-d) there's no indication to the user where the
package might have ended up at.

root @ ray42 ~# pkgutil -Nd -T sparc:5.10 nagios_plugins
Package list:
        CSWnagiosp-1.4.13,REV=2009.04.26
Total size: 1.6 MB
=> Fetching CSWnagiosp-1.4.13,REV=2009.04.26 (1/1) ...
root @ ray42 ~#

Compare this with the --stream download option where there's an indication
to the user where he can find the generated stream.

Transforming packages into stream
(/var/opt/csw/pkgutil/packages/nagios_plugins.sparc.5.10.pkg) ...

Would be helpful to output the download directory on normal downloads
also. Maybe add an extra line with the download directory?
