So, I've added some options to get update-plist to work with
python2/python3 (specifically MODPY_PYCACHE / MODPY_COMMENT)

It's probably the most complex part of update-plist yet.

As discussed with some porters, I'd like update-plist to
do a "near perfect" job most of the time.

If you're still using scripts to tweak the results on a
regular basis, I'd like to know about the issues so they can get
fixed.

Tip:
remember that UPDATE_PLIST_ARGS  can be used to enforce some options.
And that you can set UPDATE_PLIST_OPTS on the fly to avoid issues
(e.g., not checking pkglocatedb each time)

As far as I know, known issues are:
- update-plist WILL reorder files in alphabetical order. There's no much
that can be done about that.
- ghc @exec/@unexec are still guessed and not added automatically.
I hope to get some @tag for that eventually.

I'm not saying it doesn't ever require a few manual tweaks, but anything
you're doing in a systematic way warrants analysis, and addition of
smarts to update-plist proper.
