Just curious, but would it be that difficult to add code to 'make clean'
that checks for a 'work' directory before actually going through the
process?

Periodically, I clean it all out, and I know I've never built anything
under '/usr/ports/chinese', so why bother cleaning all the dependencies
for something that hasn't needed it:

===> chinese/xemacs
===>  Cleaning for zh-arphicttf-2.11
===>  Cleaning for xtt-common-1.3.0
===>  Cleaning for freetype-1.3
===>  Cleaning for gmake-3.78.1
===>  Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.6
===>  Cleaning for perlftlib-1.2
===>  Cleaning for ja-p5-jcode.pl-2.10
===>  Cleaning for freetype-1.3
===>  Cleaning for gmake-3.78.1
===>  Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.6
===>  Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.6
===>  Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.6
===>  Cleaning for zh-xcin-2.5.2b4
===>  Cleaning for zh-kcfonts-1.05
===>  Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.6
===>  Cleaning for zh-libtabe-0.1b8
===>  Cleaning for db-2.7.7
===>  Cleaning for gmake-3.78.1
===>  Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.6
===>  Cleaning for db-2.7.7
===>  Cleaning for gettext-0.10.35
===>  Cleaning for libtool-1.3.3
===>  Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.6
===>  Cleaning for gmake-3.78.1
===>  Cleaning for jpeg-6b
===>  Cleaning for png-1.0.5
===>  Cleaning for xpm-3.4k
===>  Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.6
===>  Cleaning for zh-xemacs-20.4

Just a thought, its not something that one tends to do often, but it would
sure speed things up...
