Has anyone ever used @ignore_inst?
As far as I can tell, it is never generated by any
of the package tools, does not appear in any
pkg-plist in the ports tree, and does not appear
in any of the ~3000 packages I looked at from the
5.0 release CDs.


A related question:  Does anyone use @ignore
for anything other than package metadata?
As far as I can tell, it's only ever used
for metadata files (that begin with '+').
