+PLIST_VARS introduced [jlam 20080413]
+ PLIST_VARS is a simpler way to do conditional PLIST entries.
+ The old method of doing e.g. PLIST_SUBST+= FOO="@comment " can
+ now be done by unconditionally setting PLIST_VARS+=foo and
+ conditionally setting PLIST.foo=yes. This will result in substitution
+ of ${PLIST.foo} in the PLIST with either "" or "@comment ".

After being deprecated for about 16 months, this early misdesign
has finally been obsoleted and removed from pkgsrc.
