Hello,

The FreeBSD Porter's Handbook, subsection 4.8.1, reads:

	The variable lists the name of the directory that is created
	when the application's distfiles are extracted. If our
	previous example extracted into a directory called foo (and
	not foo-1.0) you would write:

	    WRKSRC=      foo

That is while in reality one has to write:

	WRKSRC=	${WRKDIR}/foo

since WRKSRC is treated by bsd.port.mk as a full pathname.

So which one, the handbook or bsd.port.mk, is to be changed?  Is
there any reason to have this "${WRKDIR}/" stuff in each Makefile
utilizing WRKSRC?
