Hmm... I realize that it will *not* break building from CDROM,
since tou have to set WRKDIRPREFIX to somewhere writeable...
Rather, the question should probably be: "Why can't I write
outside WRKDIR?" ${WRKDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR} seems like the right
place for stuff like Makefile.inc (esp. when you set
WRKDIRPREFIX, I guess)? Is the handbook wrong?
