Thanks for this suggestion. Although I went another way in the end, I
thought it was worth pointing out that DISTFILES+= did not work as I
expected it would. Instead of adding the file to the list, it replaced the
value of DISTFILES. The workaround would have been to do:

.if defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING)
DISTFILES=	${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX} maildir.patch.gz
...

(along with some master site grouping gymnastics, etc).

hth,

Doug
