See the following examples which use this method:
    pkgsrc/security/rsaref/files/Makefile
    pkgsrc/devel/libg++/files/Makefile

Those are "reachover" style Makefiles that make installing these packages
easier.  Additionally, libg++ installs the proper profiled, shared, PIC, and
static libraries as defined by /etc/mk.conf, and only lists those libraries
in PLIST.  (See pkgsrc/devel/libg++/Makefile:post-install.)  I'm going to
change rsaref to do the same.
