This is a great help to porters, however, due to issued with GNU autoconf
and dependencies, it is essential that all build directories for ports and
their dependencies are fully cleaned, in order to obtiain all the
information needed to auto-generate the PLIST.

Thus, the following should be inserted between the "First, make sure your
port..." and "Next, create a new set" sections.

< new >
Next, completely clean the build directories for your port and all
dependencies.  This will ensure that all files and directories will be
properly enumerated during the creation of the PLIST.

# make clean

< /new >
