How about working from the basis that perhaps, just perhaps, I'm =
_right_, and show me why _I_ am wrong.  After all, right now, I see me =

By all means, show an alternate solution, one that assumes that some =
project or another, which will be a part of the FreeBSD ports =
collection, will _require_ GNU make 3.82, and we can go from there.

Believe me, I'm willing to listen to well thought on, start to end, =
include all possibility plans, but right now, all I'm seeing is "you're =
wrong" without anything substantial to back it up so, at this point, I'd =
like to focus on the issue at hand and get the work _done_.
