Yikes, I guess /compat/linux will have to move
off my root partition ;-)

`make package' should probably work, or be explicitly disabled
by NO_PACKAGE.

NO_MTREE should be set too, we don't want a full-blown bsd heirarchy
in /compat/linux. I set up the linux_lib port to extract to a staging
area, with the intent that I may want to edit/patch a few files
there eventually, or maybe install just pieces of it. Plus it had
the benefit that it was more like the rest of the ports, but I didn't
have 17M to deal with either.
At one time I thought of having `make fetch' grab the various *.tgz's
from slackware/redhat/... but finally decided that keeping track of all
those linux dists *and* the versions of shared libs was way too much. :(
