 * Could we add a dependency file or something along those lines, that
 * has the paths of the files the package depends on and then we can
 * check whether the file actually exists and even whether it has the
 * correct permissions.

The problem with this approach is that it hard-codes the "local" tree
to /usr/local and the X tree to /usr/X11R6, which we are trying to
avoid.

 * mtree can be used to do most of this. Incidentally, I had someone
 * try and install a package yesterday without mtree in their path (it's in
 * /usr/sbin/mtree so that was reasonable). We should hard code that path
 * into the bsd.mk files for ports.

That one is already fixed in the -current bsd.port.mk.  (I think it
was Rod who pointed it out.)
