While trying to update math/vtk, I found that its plist is very complex, 
with many optional files, some files depending on multiple port options.

But it is a well-behaved project, and it only installs the correct file 
set. It is much easier to just trust it.


So I am suggesting USES=autoplist: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13181


Any thoughts?


Thank you,

Yuri
