I just installed CURRENT and so far everything still works, and that is
nice.  But I have been installing a lot of stuff too from the ports
collection.  I was building XFree86 in one window and PostgreSQL in the
other.  It turns out that PostgreSQL has X as a dependency and I was using
"make install distclean".  This caused my X build to get clobbered.  

Is there a workaround for this?  Could bsd.port.mk be taught not to
clobber stuff that is being built?
