Packages.txt, #5.1:
 * Semi-automatic PLIST generation:
 You can use the "make print-PLIST" command to output a PLIST that matches
 any new files since the package was extracted. See below for more
 information on this target.
...
 * print-PLIST:
 After a 'make install' from a new or upgraded pkg, this prints out an
 attempt to generate a new PLIST from a 'find -newer work/.extract_done'.
 An attempt is made to care for shared libs etc., but it is STRONGLY
 recommended to review the result before putting it into PLIST. On
 upgrades, it's useful to diff the output of this command against an already
 existing PLIST file.
 If the package installs files via tar(1) or other methods that don't update
 file access times, be sure to add these files manually to your PLIST,
 as 'find -newer' won't catch them!
