on pointyhat, package won't change, since pointyhat does not define 
NOPORT(DOCS|EXAMPLES), so, package does not change.

So, for all conditions:
ie: we do/don't want pointyhat to rebuild pkg... this would be a noop.
     if we do/don't think the OP would want to rebuild pkg.. if they 
don't assign NOPORT*, then its a noop.  (and if they are concerned, can 
rm the files.)
and, no, pav is wrong ;-)

you don't want to have your port do a rm -rf /usr/local/share.

At least two ports that I know of put critical files in there, and, if 
you do that, the portupgrade/portmaster/make delinstall will squeal to 
the next system OP that there is something bad wrong, because pkg-plist 
is wrong, and it can't delete files, can't em dirs, and did not delete 
the package.


anyone important want to commit this pr?
