 * From: Chuck Robey <chuckr@mat.net>

 * I saw your earlier commit on that idea, removing the relative references
 * to parts of ports.  I was trying to figure out why ... is this a
 * stylistic thing, or is there another reason?  I'm not complaining at
 * all, just trying to understand why.

This is to facilitate building with a read-only ports tree.  In
particular, relative paths will break WRKDIRPREFIX support.

And the read-only ports tree is necessary for the parallel build
system that I'm putting together to automate package building.
