	or. (sorry if I misunderstood the goal)
	3. have a command line option in pkg_add, to ignore files under
	   certain pathname, like /usr/pkg/share/examples.
	
	the more we have options in package Makefiles, the more we will have
	a chance to get incomplete PLIST, so I find it easier to tweak
	pkg_add.  (openbsd FAKE packaging?  that is another question...).
	I understand that it could become a limiting factor.
	for example, if people want smaller binary (like removing NLS support)
	pkg_add modification will not help.
