Essentially that's what TMPPLIST=PLIST does. It's just a little
draconian!
Perhaps generate-plist: should not consider a non-existent
${PLIST} as an error. Then fake-pkg: would continue to flag the
error (as it does now). However, if fake-pkg: found that
${TMPPLIST} did not exist, it would call generate-plist: (for a
total of twice). This would allow a port to create ${PLIST} at
any time during install, without forcing it to mess with
TMPPLIST.

Yes, although as a matter of style I don't particularly like
redefining the do-* targets unless they're truly being redefined.
Another interesting one is TenDRA. It reads ${PLIST} to decide
what files to install as part of its do-install target. If it is
switched to use PLIST_SUB then, with the proposed bsd.port.mk,
its do-install: must either move to post-install: (with a dummy
do-install:... Ugh!) or it needs a do-install: generate-plist
dependency.
I happen to have already tested the latter solution
(bento:/a/tmp/TenDRA). :-)
