	It appears that when you use an alternative makefile ala 'make 
-f', it doesn't affect any further make calls that bsd.port.mk use; it 
will reuse the default 'Makefile'.  This makes sense in some ways, but 
a 'make -n' DOES get passed on...  Is there any rhyme or reason to
this?  I'd really like to specify alternate makefiles for a
consolidated ports tree for multiple machines, this is a small thorn
=).  The port I tried was www/lynx; all I needed was to drop the
--with-zlib from configure arguments...I know numerous ways around
this issue, but I wondered why -n would pass and -f would not.  Is
this a bug in the mk file or just a wierd effect?

	Thanks,
	-Kevin
