Would it be reasonable to put this in the base directory for the port
instead?  In the hopes of providing a standardized way for documenting
Makefile build options (hint hint), it seems excessive to have a files
directory for every port.  Maybe mail/mailman/pkg-mk-opts instead?
Port metadata should reside in the main directory.  -sc
