Note, if you want to build the packages but not add them to the images, the
do this (with no collection selected):

# build everything
$ ptxdist go
# don't add everything to the image
$ ptxdist --collectionconfig=configs/mycollection images

That way you have the ipkgs available and you can install them with
opkg/ipkg later.
