Hi.

Has anyone had a thought that pkgsrc PLIST format should be similar to
``sets/lists'' format?  The point is that path is written from column
0, like:
	bin/foobar
not like
	${HAVE_HOGE}bin/foobar

Possible new format would look like:
	bin/foobar				hoge
This improves readability and grep'ability.

(These conditional variables are needed to represent conditional file
installation without having multiple PLIST files.)
