OpenBSD has a ``make plist'' target in bsd.port.mk. It looks like it shouldn't be too hard to extract as a shell script for users. I don't know how well it works. [I don't think we should have a plist target in our bsd.port.mk]. Feel free to mention multiple ways to generate the plist --- the other stuff you wrote would still be good even in the face of such a shell script. -- Me. Who'd you think sent this?
