Bits referring to multiple directories at once? Using a make flavor, that 
already supports .CURDIR, but not .CURDIR:H? Do such things even exist?

Personally, when I need to build a sizable BSD program on another system, I 
begin with building bmake (NetBSD's pkgsrc project helps with that). Or, if it 
is not a big program, I just create a GNUmakefile from scratch -- gmake is 
omnipresent these days.

I don't think, we should either...
