OK, I've committed the change. 

Shall we bump PKGTOOLS_REQD as well? I'd say we leave it for now.
(Or should we force our users into beta-testing? :-)

Uh, expecting a 'dirrm' to create a dir seems wrong. If anything, we'd
have to rename it to @dir or something. How many pkgs are affected from
this? Given that print-PLIST does the necessary workaround automatically,
i'd rather not go there now.
