When you do a "make world", the /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk that
is installed simply includes /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.

The idea is that when you cvsup the Ports Collection, bsd.port.mk
will be kept in-sync with the ports.  Previously, unsynchronized
bsd.port.mk and POrts Collections were a major support issue.
