I can think of one reason that the MAKEFILE=${FILESDIR}/Makefile trick
might not be best: if you're modifying or debugging a ported program, you
may well want to run make manuall, in $WRKSRC. In that case, Steve's use of
a post-patch: target is better (and beats my suggestion of a pre-build
target as well).
