This port is non-functional after installation.

1. File permissions are incorrect.  At runtime, the port needs write access as
the riak user ('riak') to the RIAK_HOMEDIR, RIAK_DBDIR, RIAK_LOGDIR, and
RIAK_LIBDIR.  By default these are owned by root/wheel.

2. The installed file /usr/local/lib/riak/lib/env.sh was recently (1.4.9
perhaps) modified to use su instead of sudo, but linux command line options
(specifically -c) are hard coded, and the entire command is quoted which
results in it being interpreted as a path to a file with spaces rather than a
command with arguments.  This prevents all riak-admin commands from
functioning, and perhaps others as well.

----- quick (probably incorrect) fixes

1. Change ownership for all of these directories to the riak user/group. 
Testing this change via @owner and @group directives in pkg-plist was
successful, but probably has security consequences for the system as a whole.

2. Create a patch to change this 'su' command back to 'sudo' and add sudo as a
requirement for the port ..OR.. remove the '-c' and quotes.  The first option
is preferable in order to preserve the quoting which is required in some cases,
but I've only tested the second, and it works in limited testing.
