Description (last modified by jmroot (Joshua Root))
It is useful to be able to install as part of a port certain files that will not be uninstalled or overwritten by subsequent installations or upgrades to the port.
This patch adds support for intallation at activation time of "default" files which will not be tracked as part of the installed port, and do not overwrite existing files of the same name.
The new option activate.copy_defaults accepts [multiple] pairs of src/dst file paths. At the tail of the activation phase, each src file is copied to its paired dst file iff dst doesn't already exist.

This patch is waiting further development, perhaps by wbb4, of underlying support in the registry to carry this information, so that we aren't dependent on the activation phase, which doesn't exist outside of images.

Duplicate #12797 has some more ideas for how this ought to be implemented.
