Hi,

I just got bitten by a nasty side effect of r420340 [1] ("Move USE_BDB
and PLIST_DIRSTRY to the unsupported section, all the ports have been
converted").

The effect is that empty directories don't get installed or packaged
anymore, and this can lead to all kinds of interesting errors.  In my
case, for example, xmlcatmgr failed to install correctly, because it
couldn't find /usr/local/share/xml.

Please revert this commit locally, or don't update to r420340 for now,
until this problem gets fixed.  I submitted bug 211953 [2] in the mean
time.
