Another idea is to support shell glob patterns (*?[) in pkg-plist.  This
is possible now thanks to staging.  It would allow moving PORTDOCS,
PORTDATA and PORTEXAMPLES to pkg-plist.  But more importantly, it would
allow automatic plists that some ports create in post-install to be
turned back into a real pkg-plist.  Without glob patterns some pkg-plists
are just too long or too complicated depending on options.
