I have an odd problem ... I'm updating the objc port to the latest
version (2.2.15) and nearly finished, except that the deinstall target
is giving me some very weird results.

I'm installing a good handful of man pages, and they're listed in MAN1
and MAN3, and they're being gzipped just fine (make package works fine).
When I run make deinstall, here's what I get:

===>  Deinstalling for objc-2.2.15
pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/man/man1/cvtimport.1.gz' doesn't really exist
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list
is incorrectly specified?)

Understand I deleted all the other manpages listed (they all look
identical except for the man page name).  The files are really being
installed, and they're really being deinstalled, I checked this
carefully, so why the error?  This is on FreeBSD-current, with a very
current ports tree.  I tried splitting up bsd.port.mk into
bsd.port.pre.mk and bsd.port.post.mk but that had no effect.

BTW, notice that bsd.port.pre.mk and bsd.port.post.mk are documented
nowhere?  I finally found Satoshi's original mail on it, to guide me
into making that change.

As soon as the pkg_delete thing gets figured out, I'll commit the new
port.  objc has come a long, long way!
