I spent Sunday afternoon amongst the Porter's Handbook and bsd.*.make
files, learning enough to move some stuff around, hack some Makefiles, rm
dross and restart from 'make build' to compile the 2 ThermoCron programs.

Still have no idea how to generate a proper patch to do that, but I can
outline what I did and when, offlist, should anybody else be in need ..

Cheers, Ian
