I don't recall you mentioning it, but I'm sure when you mentioned, I 
pointed this out:  If I look to parse the includes, I need to compile a 
list of the unneeded but include'd files (e.g: bsd.port.pre.mk,  
bsd.port.post.mk, bsd.port.mk...).

6 of one, half a dozen of the other...etc.  So either I keep track of 
the exceptions or I keep track of the .mk files.

At present, without consistency, it seems the easiest way is for 
me to keep track of what breaks and then fix it.
