Hi,

  I am trying to build a new port with no top-level Makefile.  The
package is meant to be built on multiple OS's so has subdirectories
for each platform, and all the makefiles refer to ../src/..., etc.
What I'm doing for now is putting a "files/Makefile" that has

all install clean:
        cd freebsd; $(MAKE) $@

and a scripts/configure that copies that to ${WRKSRC}.  Is there a
better way to do this?

  (I first tried using bsd.subdir.mk but the port requires GMAKE)

Thanks,

  Bill
