If we are going in this direction, a convenience target to help automate adding the appropriate entries to pkg-plist for when this port is updated in the future would be helpful for the maintainer, too (similar to, as you know, the new-plist target in x11-toolkits/linux-gtk2/Makefile). Sorry, I don't have a patch for that at the moment, however.
