Description
Currently there are only few plist items that can be defined in portfiles. I specifically have need for UserName for CouchDB (there is no way to specify the user in ini file!), but I expect other may have need for others, too.

While this was a great addition, it was never documented anywhere (apart from the release notes). Which undermines the usefulness of the functionality, as many folks have no idea that it even exists...

Please set a milestone when closing base tickets that are fixed in a specific release. The ticket description mentions wanting more plist keys than just user and group, but since they are unspecified, I agree there's probably nothing else actionable here.

PR created, to document options startupitem.user/startupitem.group in the manpage for portfile:
PR 294 - manpages: portfile: add info for startupitem.user/startupitem.group
The couchdb install contains a launchd plist already, is there anything wrong with it? The mp startup item does not work for me, though. So this works:
and this doesn't:
The port install UI message advertises the latter one, which is a bit unfortunate since it's broken.
