State-Changed-Why: 
Actually I believe this is correct.  Note the direction of the tick.
`make package-name` returns the package name of the port.  For example,
with the xpm port this returns xpm-3.4k.  This is merely a convenience
thing so that you don't have to remember the package name or misspell
it based on what bsd.port*.mk thinks it should be.
