No problem, everybody makes mistakes.  (Especially those like you who
do a lot of work. :)

By the way, I really wish there is some way we could distinguish
between user variables (env. vars or /etc/make.conf) and ports
Makefile variables from bsd.port.mk and warn the porter if he
overstepped his bounds.

The only way I can think of it is to include bsd.port.mk twice from
each Makefile, and that's just plain ugly.  (Maybe we can add it to
portlint....)
