I wrote a list?

(checks)

Oh yes. Look that. Sure, base could take care of deleting ${destroot}$ 
{prefix}/lib/charset.alias for you.

If it did, it should probably delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share/ 
locale/locale.alias as well.

We also have a problem with files named perllocal.pod anywhere in $ 
{destroot}. Several ports go to some lengths to delete these, not all  
correctly.
