When you type "make" by itself, you are implicitly meaning "make all".
(You can see this by looking at bsd.port.mk.)
It used to be that when you typed "make", it would build the sources.
Then "make install" would create a staging area, and then directly copy
the staged stuff it to ${PREFIX}.
But now, when you type "make", it builds the source, AND installs the
stuff into the staging area. All "make install" does is copy the staged
stuff to ${PREFIX}.=
