	I asked myself if I should put this feature in my patch and
	I finally haven't because it required some extra-stuff
	(handling optional arguments for @ commands is painful), and a
	simple '@unexec [ -d ${PREFIX}/etc ] && echo ...' is easier I
	guess. But that's no problem for me to include that if everybody
	thinks it worth it.

	I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, I started
	looking at pkg_install source yesterday at night. Could you
	give me some pointers about that ?

	Ok, actually I knew eik has been working on it, but I didn't
	know who was the active maintainer now.

	I have thought of a new purge command, that would act like
	dpkg --purge on Debian but AFAIK that would be impossible
	since it would need persistent package records (that still
	exists after a package has been removed as long as we have
	some configuration files for this port in the tree).
