Hi Porters!

After some amount of extensive porting I found that WRKDIRPREFIX is quite
useful options which helps to keep crap generated bu the port builds away from
/usr/ports, but unfortunately it turns into a problem when you have to not only
build ports but make some debugging/upgrading/fixing. Without this option you
could use convenient trial/error/fix scheme, but when WRKDIRPREFIX is defined
the port and its ${WRKDIR} could be too far away from each other, which makes
this process a too painful.

Therefore I came with the following patch, which I believe combines best from
the two cases (i.e. WRKDIRPREFIX and !WRKDIRPREFIX) simply by installing
symlink from ${WRKDIR} to ${.CURRDIR}/work, so with this option enabled you can
have WRKDIRPREFIX defined to keep crap in one place, while still able to do "
cd myport ; make [bah error!] cd work/myport ; vi configure; diff -du
configure.orig configure > ../../patches/patch-aa ; cd ../../ ; make" ;).
