Erm, yes indeed there was. As I explained before, the plan is to move several 
directories from mtree to plists. One of them is this one which is needed 
only by imake. This is why imake lists it's own MTREE_FILE, but pointyhat 
would need a change in portbuild script if I'm not mistaken to not apply 
BSD.x11-4.dist automatically. All xorg ports are changed to use (a temporary) 
mtree file because of this. After talking to kris last time, we agreed that 
this could be the way to go, but that it would require a one-line change in 
pointyhat build scripts.
No package that imake depends on (it actually only perl) requires x11 mtree, 
so since this dir doesn't get created by imake, it must be created by 
pointyhat if I understand things correctly.
So can the buildscripts be changed or am I missing something?
