-------------------------+--------------------------------
 Symbolic links created by port should be recorded in the registry. For
 example, the python_select port creates symlinks to a specific version of
 python and it's helper programs.

 {{{
 $ ls -l /opt/local/bin/python
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  24 Jan 23 15:05 /opt/local/bin/python ->
 /opt/local/bin/python2.7

 $ port provides /opt/local/bin/python
 /opt/local/bin/python is not provided by a MacPorts port.

 $ port contents python_select
 Port python_select contains:
   /opt/local/etc/select/python/base
   /opt/local/etc/select/python/none
   /opt/local/etc/select/python/python25-apple
   /opt/local/etc/select/python/python26-apple
   /opt/local/etc/select/python/python27-apple
 }}}
