With respect to the discussion about build error and extra files.  What
is the proper way to specify a config file in PLIST.  Specifically, a
lot of ports like the apache series install a httpd.conf.dist and if
httpd.conf does not exist the httpd.conf.dist is copied to httpd.conf. 
Now on unistall httpd.conf is not removed, and this is usually a good
idea for upgrading versions.

This behavior creates errors for the auto build scripts.  What is the
proper way to specify this?  Do we need additions to the install/PLIST
to specify these files.  With make deinstall/pkg_delete leaving them by
default and a new target deinstall-all/pkg_delete --??? removing these
"extra" files?
