I am helping with the new XFree86 4.4.0 packages. They are mostly finished
and tested under NetBSD (current and stable), Linux and FreeBSD.

I see there are few packages that create directories, like misc/xdg-dirs,
misc/gnome2-dirs, misc/xdg-x11-dirs, etc.

We could use a package to manage some shared directories.

As an example, the generated PLIST can be something like:

@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/man/man${MISCMAN_SUFFIX}
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/man/man${MAN_SUFFIX}
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/man
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/doc
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/config
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/include/X11/bitmaps
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/include/X11
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/include
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/bin
@dirrm ${X11ROOT_PREFIX}

Or should we just use mtree?

When should we use the mtree mk/*dist files versus packages like
misc/xdg-dirs, misc/gnome2-dirs, misc/xdg-x11-dirs, etc. ??
