	Using portcheckout-2.0 on FreeBSD 4.3 

	
>Description:

	portcheckout only supports the make targets "install clean"
	and "fetch".  This reduces its usefullness since building
	other targets (such as "package", "reinstall", or omitting
	the "clean") requires moving above the ports directory,
	running portcheckout, and then moving into each port's
	directory and running the target.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Use portcheckout to build anything other "install/clean" or
	"fetch"

>Fix:

	It's not suggested that portcheckout have explicit support
	for every target that bored system admins can write PR's
	on, but rather a single option be added via which the person
	building the package can specify an arbitary string used
	as the make target.

	This might look like:

		portcheckout --target="package" package-name ...
