Plists are not supposed to be grappable. There's plenty automatic
plist generation mechanisms used in ports tree besides PORTDATA not
mentioning `${ECHO} >> ${TMPPLIST}' used it some ports, so plists
are guaranteed to be incomplete and not usable for that purpose. With
staging support I hope them to be reduced even more if not removed
completely. PORTDATA is useful for all ports, as small plists still
combine into significant part of overall plist mass.

However I agree that it's sometimes useful to find in what package
certain file resides before installing that package, but for that
only complete plists from real packages are usable.
