            Bug ID: 266942
           Summary: bsd.port.mk: Use .MAKE.UID instead of calling id(1)

bsd.port.mk.patch

Assigning the output of a shell command to a make variable is expensive sin=
ce
the command is spawned every time the makefile is parsed.

In bsd.port.mk, we can save an invocation of id(1) by using the built-in
.MAKE.UID variable instead.  Since older versions of bmake (12.x) don't have
.MAKE.UID yet, we need to check with defined() first.  See the attached pat=
ch.

That said, this change does not result in any measurable speedup for "make
index".
