One way to help make source trees self-sufficient might be to start every
Makefile with something like:

    TOP = ../..

    .MAKEFLAGS: -I${TOP}/share/mk

(where the ../.. varies according to the position in the source tree).

I use a similar scheme in a build system I designed (except that it
doesn't depend on luxuries like BSD make's .MAKEFLAGS rule, so every
include line has to refer explicitly to the mk directory...).

		Mark.
