Thanks! One other quick question. The utility "port" when run as:

	port create <name>

creates a skeleton Makefile with these entries at the end:

	.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
	.include <bsd.port.post.mk>

Should I just remove them and place the ".include <bsd.port.mk>" entry
in their place; or add it to the list of other includes? I cannot find
any documentation specifically defining what to do. I thought I had read
the Porter's Handbook thoroughly, but perhaps not.
