I've done that before, but it slipped my mind this time, I had thought of it 
earlier before composing the message.

Now I notice something in the Makefile that looks strange but didn't affect me:

ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM=      DragonFly-*-*        \
                        NetBSD-[5-9]*-i386   \
                        NetBSD-[5-9]*-x86_64 \
                        SunOS-5.1[1-9]*-i386

I built this package successfully in FreeBSD, but that was from FreeBSD ports.

I think a shorter form of 

 make show-var VARNAME=MAINTAINER

would be

make -V MAINTAINER
