I reverted to the previous Makefile just to get something working before
I leave. I did want to point out that the cleanup (at least for me) was
not that hard. /man and /share were left behind along with a handful of
files in /bin that shouldn't have been there. Once I had reverted and
installed vim I was able to use something like
pkg_info -L -x vim | fgrep /usr/local/bin | sed -e 's|/usr/local||'
To find the files which were in /bin that should not have been there.
Not all of them were there in my case but the cleanup was easy. Just
delete /man and /share and the handful of files in /bin.
I still don't know what the real fix for this is but hopefully someone
is working on it. ;)
