Speaking of files/symlinks created in postinstall scripts -- perhaps we
should come up with some unified mechanism for listing them. Some
postinstall scripts use /etc/preremove/<PKGNAME>-manifest.lst.
The reason it may be useful to have a common mechanism is that "cygcheck
-c" could then use the manifest files in addition to the package listing
to check whether the package is complete. That would have caught, for
example, the man.conf problem reported recently on the main list.
