I have a question about the config file. Is it proper to put the config file in the PLIST or not? I mean, if you are just removing the port to reinstall it or upgrade it, you probably wouldn't want your config file removed. But, if you are removing the port permanently you probably would. I would think to leave the config file out of the PLIST, but I wanted to know if there was a "right" way to do things.
