OK....
[imagine me going to FreshPorts to add Makefile.man to the list of
special files]
Actually, that should be files/Makefile.man.
I think we should have some consistency here. If only for sanity
sake. At worst, I'll have to start extending the list of "special files"
in FreshPorts. At best, it looks sloppy to have different file names
for each type. Is there an established practice in this area of
ports? [I'm not counting security/heimdal as established as that's
only just occurred].
Personally, I'd like to see a standard set and used. It would make
the running of FreshPorts much easier. I'd rather not make
changes each time a new file name is conceived.
I propose we use Makefile.inc and not put it into files. Anyone
concur?

I'm not sure that's any neater at all.
