Yup, should have added PATCHFILES to the set there. The whole reason
_behind_ using make was that it would pick up the environment variables.
I got sick of trying to rewrite make in Tcl, which is why I went this
way - I wanted to be able to say to make "tell me all the files
that this port wants".

I'm happy with any way of doing it; files/md5 will sure as hell speed
it up again, as long as that becomes the "official" way of doing it.
However, how do you propose that I get DIST_SUBDIR? I guess I still
have to parse the &%$&^$ Makefile.
