I have been looking for a silver bullet that avoids having (a) something in the post-install target plus an @exec and an @unexec and thus redundancy, or (b) two extra scripts and thus two extra files in the port. Alas, I failed at that, and Emanuel convinced me that apparently there is no way to avoid one of these two deaths. That looks like a nice project for someone to improve our general infrastructure along these lines. Gerald
