Suggested pkgsrc enhancements
=============================

	o Add a sort check to pkglint for PLISTs.

	o Make pkgsrc work on more operating systems.

	o Permit cross-building of packages which are capable of
	  doing so (e.g. ones that use GNU autoconf properly).

	o Man page handling in PLIST for pkgs which install catman or
	  man pages depending on OS (typically imake).

Suggested cleanups in pkgsrc
============================

	o Make packages install their configuration files under the
	  examples hierarchy, using bsd.pkg.install.mk to copy them
	  to the PKG_SYSCONFDIR directory when necessary.

	o Make packages install honour PKGLOCALEDIR by setting
	  USE_PKGLOCALEDIR=YES where appropriate (for eg. Solaris).

	o Deprecate LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE -- replace with appropriate LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE

	o Fix remaining packages to install documentation into share/doc
	  instead of share/gtk-doc (usually,
		CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--with-html-dir=${PREFIX}/share/doc/html
	  does the trick; additionally, one might set
		CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--enable-gtk-doc=no
	  to avoid a gtk-doc dependency if html documentation is shipped
	  with the package). Please fill in GNOME bug reports if any of
	  the packages do not honor these configuration options and/or do
	  not ship with pregenerated html documents.
