I find this functionality irreplaceable for simplicity. The alternative
is more Makefiles for simple extra progs. Granted it has meta mode
dirdeps issues but I think that is acceptable as there are other ways to
address that.

Where is this deprecation coming from? Is it just due to bapt's
in-progress (but not working) patch at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D3444
to remove bsd.progs.mk in place of PROGS in bsd.prog.mk?

I would like to document PROGS properly. I had no idea how it worked
until reading over it tonight. If the plan wasn't to remove PROGS itself
I will do so.
