What do you mean by "delineated"?

Adding some section won't be easy, as the current PLIST code doesn't
understand that concept, and frankly, I don't think we need it. 

What we will sure not do is to add more cruft to the @comment tag like the
MD5 checksum. Instead, we may probably s/@comment MD5:/@md5/ soonish -
I've some comments in the pkgdb patch for this already, check it out. :)

Or another approach which could sum up several file flags/options in one
line: md5, volatile/conf flag, even things like owner, group & permissions
come to my mind, so these can get checked.

Suggestions welcome. :)
