Oops. Slight correction here.  You should create 'Makefile.local'
rather than 'Makefile.inc' -- in the vast majority of cases it will
work either way, but 'Makefile.inc' is reserved for automatically
generated Makefiles produced as part of the configuration process, as
seen in eg. the net/samba port.  'Makefile.local' is guarranteed not
to be unconditionally overwritten by the internal workings of the
ports system.
