Description
After our brainstorming on the dp list about EA preservation upon destroottification of ports ("cvs commit: proj/darwinports/base/src/pextlib1.0 xinstall.c" thread back in April), I came up with the following patch to portfile.7 to reflect what "we" believe are the "best practices". All people involved in such thread are Cc'd, plus Chriss whom I've been working with on the man pages. Please review/ approve/flame the patch with appropriate comments so I can improve it and commit. Thanks!

I'd switch the last sentence around a bit:
Use .Nm xinstall to preserve extended file attributes (e.g. access control lists) as well.
But if you don't like that, you could fix the typo in "preserver" anyway :-)

Hey Chris! Nice suggestion, taken, thanks! Typo fixed as well ;-) Uploading new patch now. Anyone else? Do my changes convey the correct "technical" message we want to get out to our Portfile authors?

Committing changes, per jkh's "encouraging" comments on IRC and on the bugs list, so that people can comment on CVS (since CVS > Bugzilla aparently, which is a lot to say! ;-). Closing bug.
