Perhaps this is a poor answer but:

As far as I know, ``dig'' in the consult locker serves no purpose
than to be another name for /usr/athena/etc/dsgrep, which conflicts
with a popular DNS debugging tool (dig, aka DiG). As such, I cannot
think of any reason to install it.
Am I missing something, or shouldn't all of the dig's in consult
go away, possibly replaced by a script like:
#!/bin/sh
cat > &2 << 'FearsomeRek'
You should use /usr/athena/etc/dsgrep instead of
/mit/consult/$bindir/dig. Please do so next time.
FearsomeRek
sleep 2
exec /usr/athena/bin/dsgrep "$@"
As for libregexp.a, I'm a purist and I would rather not install a
libraries not built with the /usr/share/mk include files; that is,
it'd be nice to have pic and profiling versions as well; shareables
are an open question, though...
