This would have a better syntax with something like:

share/examples/pine.conf
@config etc/pine.conf

Note the positional behavior of this:  you can specify the actual file which
will be in the PLIST, and then immediately after it specify where that
config goes--something like an implied %F.  This could even be interpreted
by pkgsrc and not directly understood by the pkg_* tools (pkgsrc could
translate into an @exec).

Oh, btw, share/examples is where example config files should go.
