 * >(rename pkg/MESSAGE.tmpl to pkg/MESSAGE)

 * Isn't that misleading, especially if you don't happen to notice

 * >PKGMESSAGE= ${WRKDIR}/MESSAGE

 * in the Makefile?  I'd think that making it files/MESSAGE.tmpl would make
 * it much more obvious what's going on.

It probably doesn't matter either way for MESSAGE.  But for things
like PLIST, it's very much easier if one can do things like

  grep foobin */*/pkg/PLIST

even if some of the pkg/PLIST's are only templates. :)  That's why I
recommend people to keep the standard names for stuff in ${PKGDIR}.
