Bogus or not, it makes sense in terms of how make handles
the object directory and is consitent with how it behaves
with all files relative to the "current" directory.
.if exists(games) && !defined(NOGAMES)
SUBDIR+= games
.endif
This test (and others of a similar type) should be changed to:
.if exists(${.CURDIR}/games) && !defined(NOGAMES)
SUBDIR+= games
.endif
