Yes, that (or a similar approach) would probably work, but it's been my
experience that many documentation tarballs contain files we do not want
to install (CVS data, .xvpics etc.), so usually I use pax's "-s" option
to select which files I copy over.  Generating a PLIST dynamically would
then involve excluding those files as well and could get tricky.

I think it'd be better to have FILESDIR/PLIST.<format> (or
PKGDIR/PLIST.<format>, "WRKSRC" in my earlier email was a thinko), unless
there's an obvious reason not to.
