Substituting in pkg/MESSAGE and optionally running that through fmt(1) could be (quite?) useful, though. I have a longer message that kinda-properly adds generate-plist as dependency to fake-pkg (useful, IMHO) and allows TMPPLIST=${PLIST} to override the plist substition function. For the moment, this message is indefinately postponed on the theory that it's bad to write long messages while half-asleep. I'm not entirely sure of its usefulnes, either. -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
