Ah sorry, I do have the Handbook open in another window when I'm working
on a port but I've only ever needed the first few sections (up to
"configuring a Makefile").  To be honest, I hadn't even noticed the bit
about PKGNAME tucked away right at the end (is it new?).  Maybe it should
be moved into "configuring a Makefile"?
