Log:
  fix the docs, this was always wrong...  In some cases, DISTDIR is set
  automatically by tools via /etc/make.conf, so remind people (me) where
  to find where it's set..
  
  It would be nice for someone to document what DISTDIR is better than:
  where the file for a distribution gets installed
