Well, let me just submit a PR with the patches in.
The only query I have about them is whether people would prefer that
for, say, LICENSE=COPYRIGHT check ${WRKSRC}/${LICENSE} - since I'd imagine
one would only really use the license variable if it's one of the default
licenses, or a file somewhere in ${WRKSRC}.
Also, I'm using -n to pkg_install, since -l and -L are being used by
other pkg_*.
Comments?
