Modified Files:
	pkgsrc/mk: bsd.pkg.install.mk
	pkgsrc/mk/install: install

Log Message:
Add new bsd.pkg.install.mk tunable variable: SPECIAL_PERMS.

SPECIAL_PERMS are lists that look like:
		file user group mode
	At post-install time, file (it may be a directory) is changed to be
	owned by user:group with mode permissions.

SPECIAL_PERMS should be used primarily to change permissions of files or
directories listed in the PLIST.  This may be used to make certain files
set-uid or to change the ownership or a directory.

Packages that install setuid executables should list them in SPECIAL_PERMS
so that the correct user and group will be used for file ownership, even
if the uid/gid changes between the package creation and the package
installation.
