+
+ This adds the possibility to use regular expressions for the makeplist stage
+ of the PLIST_SUB life.
+
+ From time to time, the values are too generic, and they get in the way of
+ other stuff.
+
+ This adds the possibility to have a `VAR_regex=regex` that will be used
+ instead of the `VAR=string` to search for possible replacements.
+
+ For example, in lang/perl5*, there is PERL_ARCH=mach, which will get replaced
+ in paths if a file is called, say "machine", will end up being
+ "%%PERL_ARCH%%ine". Adding PERL_ARCH_regex="\bmach\b" will ensure only full
+ words are replaced, so machine will stay machine, but "lib/mach/foo "will
+ still be replaced by "lib/%%PERL_ARCH%%/foo".
