 libplist installs a program called "plutil". It's a completely different
 program from Apple's plutil. This explains these warnings I've been seeing
 when building various ports:

 {{{
 Usage: plistutil -i|--infile in_file.plist -o|--outfile out_file.plist
 [--debug]

         -i or --infile: The file to read in.
         -o or --outfile: The file to convert to.
         -d, -v or --debug: Provide extended debug information.
 }}}

 libplist should install the program under a different name, or in a
 directory that is not in $PATH, or perhaps even not at all.
