PKG_ADD and PKG_DEL are not related to pkg. When adding and removing
directories to the search path, Octave looks for a PKG_ADD or PKG_DEL
script and executes them. When you load a package, pkg simply adds the
directories to the paths, it doesn't do anything itself.

The only thing that pkg does is moving PKG_ADD and PKG_DEL files into
those directories during the installation of a package.
