http://freshports.org allows you to do searches of pkg-plist files. It's a
little finicky, though.
Doing a search for "g-ir-scanner" returns 0 hits, regardless of what type
of search is done.
Doing a search for "bin/g-ir-scanner" returns gobject-introspection.
So if you know the path for the file (relative to /usr/local), then the
search works.
