Why not just set INCDIR?  I think the most useful meaning for INCDIR is
"the (single) directory in which the current set of includes is installed",
not "the root of the include tree (default /usr/include)" although the
comment in bsd.own.mk suggests the latter meaning.

This may result in the headers being built at install time.  Not good.
libss (when it existed) showed how to do this better.  It had a `hdrs'
target which built the headers.  src/Makefile.inc1 invoked hdrs before
beforeinstall to get the headers built before installing them.

OK.
