I am not sure if I understand it correct. I am trying to understand what  
you are suggesting.

I did added a few features in few days ago. I think, in current auto-plist  
at 384 line is what you are looking for? I rather to add something that is  
very common and always a must to have "@unexec rmdir" in any plist. If  
it's only a must in single port, then it is not need to be add in the  
list. Has to be done by maintainer's decision.

Do you also mean by you want auto-plist to understand which or/and when  
directory need to have the "@unexec rmdir" by automatic? I am not sure how  
it can be done by any tool without grep all over 12k plists. This part has  
to be done by human, unless you know any trick.

I think I have a good idea. What do you think if I add a auto-plist.conf  
file to allow anyone to add stuff in the list? For example, you can add  
"lib/gcc" in list of "@unexec rmdir".

======================================
% cat auto-plist.conf
unexec_rmdir="lib/gcc"

% cat auto-plist.sh
[...]
_unexec_rmdir="share/pixmaps share/applications ${unexec_rmdir}"

for i in ${_unexec_rmdir}; do
	if grep -Eq "dirrm ${i}$" ${plist} 2>/dev/null; then
		echof "===> Add '@unexec rmdir * 2> ....' for ${i}."
		sed -i.tmp -e "s|dirrm ${i}$|unexec rmdir %D/${i}|g ; \
			s^%D/${i}$^& 2> /dev/null || true^g" ${plist}
	fi
done
[...]
======================================

Want it or any thought?

I don't think auto-plist is for you if you are pro-dynamic plist. I will  
never teach auto-plist, because I am pretty anti-dynamic plist. The  
dynamic plist is a downgrade from static plist. You can check dynamic VS  
static plist in few months ago in freebsd-ports.
