One thing that is missing from this list and would be most helpful is the
ability to specify a directory (or list of directories) and have the
files added to the PLIST and have the directories (and subdirs) have the
correct "@unexec rmdir" added.

This would allow one to use a standard bsd.port.mk mechanism vs. what I
have in ports/lang/gcc34/Makefile 'post-install' target to handle this.

While your 'auto-plist' could simply things quite a bit, I wouldn't use
it as it still creates a static pkg-plist that isn't robust in the face
of version updates.
