This commit makes 'make package' successfully even if the plist is
wrong, i.e. it contains ``ghost'' files. Basically,

$ tar zcvf a.tgz /aaa
tar: /aaa: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

It returns 0, so make package will be considered successful.
That's why I only get chinese/CJK build failure on 5.x (this is
merged to 6.x).

I'm CC'ing kientzle@ and portmgr@ (since it affects our package
building).
