Nope, and it seems difficult to have a mistyped path when you don't have
any paths anywhere. The only paths are in the obliterate makefile:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snip ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CFLAGS= -g
PROG= obliterate
SRCS= obliterate.c
MAN8= obliterate.8
BINDIR= ${PREFIX}/bin
MANDIR= ${PREFIX}/man
.include <bsd.prog.mk>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snip ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which part of MANDIR did I misspell, the "m", "a", or "n"?
The real problem came from having MAN8= sections in BOTH Makefiles, the
one in the obliterate tarball and the port Makefile.
