- it gained a manpage and some options. You can set them in
UPDATE_PLIST_OPTS

- some ports may need some tweaks for variable subst. That can
be arranged in UPDATE_PLIST_ARGS

(the intention is to keep UPDATE_PLIST_OPTS as user options, whereas
UPDATE_PLIST_ARGS should be appended to for best results. For instance,
python is probably going to gain something like
UPDATE_PLIST_ARGS += -S MODPY_BIN_SUFFIX -S MODPY_PYOEXTENSION -S 
MODPY_LIB_SUFFIX -S MODPY_ABI3SO)

- if you have pkglocatedb installed,   update-plist will now check it for
files in your generated plist, so that you get advance warnings if it
conflicts with any other port in the tree.

(instead of having to wait for people to run check-problems which basically
does the same thing).

Hopefully, this does make check-problems more or less obsolete, or at least
way less useful than it used to be.
