/usr/bin/foo.c:
@echo ${PREFIX}
prints "/usr/bin/foo" on FreeBSD, "foo" on NetBSD. NetBSD's behaviour
is consistent with the man page though, and you can achieve the FreeBSD
behaviour using ${.TARGET:R} so perhaps it isn't so bad after all.
David Holland pointed this out to me and I haven't thought too much
about it since.
