But wouldn't it require changing either a) make, gmake, etc. to look for included files without a path there or b) changing all the ports to include it from there. This also means that we presume /usr/ports to be the directory the person is using. I realize that a symlink to wherever they are storing it works, but it's just another step that will be missed by some. -- j.
