Who tells that? Is that voice of God or maybe Satoshi Asami has returned?

Des, please don't speak up when you don't know what you are talking 
about Instead you have to fix your own attitute, thich nowadays is about 
sticking your nose into the areas in which you don't have even sligtest 
expertise.

The real problem is that ${.CURDIR} in make(1) evaluates not to current 
working directory but to realpath(3)-like "real" path. Can bmake gurus 
comment on this?
