Uh, sorry, it's working with ${.CURDIR}/files (and, of course not with
FILESDIR), but portlint -CN complain:
WARN: Makefile: possible direct use of "files" found. if so, use ${FILESDIR} instead.

And I want do do the same for the DISTFILES.

So I'm asking if it's OK to do so (e.g. portlint point of view) as I
don't want write it all again if it doesn't obey style.

And I have some scripts hat automate the a large part of the process.
