I'm the maintainer. I need to build PLIST on the fly, unless I want
the port's build to depend on many other big language packages that
are irrelevant to 99% of the users (who want to use C, C++ or maybe
Java). 

I spent quite some time to make it work in the cases of
- compiling with any target language install or not installed
- building a binary package and installing it on a machine with less
  languages installed.
- the other way round
so please touch this port only with great care!

I noticed other ports have a compile-time PLIST also, if
someone developed a better scheme to do so, please let me know.

Regarding the manpages, there is a number of fixed manpages and a
number of language-specific manpages. The others are easy to identify
by <languages-name>-stubber.1.

I also chose to let the port install the manpages to its own base dir
and link them to $(PREFIX)/man. That is easy to revert, if there's
desire to do so.

I missed the rationale about removing manpages from PLIST. If
someone forwared me the new policy, I could take care of the manpages
for this port myself.

As I'm going to touch the port anyway, any other suggestions? No, I
couldn't locate the reason why it doesn't work when compiled with -O,
although I tried quite hard, so the reason is that I'm too stupid :-/
