Comment:

 Jeremy, I corrected the log message from r54632. This wasn't an mtree
 violation; it was that the port installed a file directly into
 ${prefix}/bin, outside of ${destroot}.

 Anil, a few notes:

  * Since this changes what files are registered to the port, you must
 increase the port's revision (if you are not already increasing the
 version)
  * There's no need to put a slash before ${prefix} because ${prefix}
 already begins with a slash
  * Using code I copied from my lisaem port, I added a pre-activate phase
 to remove the rogue file from ${prefix}/bin if it's there; otherwise, the
 user would get this message:

 {{{
 --->  Activating caml-json-wheel @1.0.6_1
 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error:
 /opt/local/bin/jsoncat already exists and does not belong to a registered
 port.  Unable to activate port caml-json-wheel.
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}

 I committed these changes in r54686.
