Hi !
While struggling with DATADIR-safety messages from portlint, I've
noticed something very odd : DATADIR, which is supposed to be an
absolute path, is recorded as a relative path (to ${PREFIX}, I suppose)
in pkg-plist.
This leads to being unable to deinstall a port which has been installed

Hi,
You cannot define DATADIR that's PREFIX-unsafe without using @cwd.
And using @cwd makes `-p/-P' options in pkg_add(1) less useful.
Not sure why portlint even mentions safeness for
DOCSDIR/EXAMPLESDIR/DATADIR as they were never safe
