>Description:

When building the tk41 port from ports-current, it tries to compile
wish with -L/usr/ports/x11/tk41/work/unix (to pick up the just-built
library).  I usually just grab <port>.tar from an ftp site, untar it
into a temp directory, and type 'make'.. and have never before
encountered a requirement to put it in /usr/ports, so I assume that's
not an intended requirement.

I think maybe this is more a bug in the configure script, since it
grabs that path from a `pwd` at one point, but I don't know autoconf
at all.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd /tmp
ftp ftp.freebsd.org
 cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/x11
 get tk41.tar
 quit
tar xvf tk41.tar
cd tk41
make
[wait]

It should bomb out in the work/tk41/unix directory right after it builds
the library and tries to build wish.

>Fix:
	
I worked around it by changing -L/usr/ports/x11/tk41/work/tk4.1/unix
to -L. in a couple of places in the Makefile, but that's obviously not
the right answer for the port.  :-)
