The src/contrib area is supposed to have "as few FreeBSD-specific changes as possible" (from the handbook section on policies). Since the Makefiles in src/ contrib are generally not used, there is no need to touch them at all, and they should not be! This is unnecesarily breaking from the vendor branch for no apparent benefit at all.. The same goes for the commits to src/ contrib/bind. -Peter
