Hmm. I'm not sure, but I think, perhaps, it would still lead to
ambiguities if you set it to exclude some common name like "doc", or
"common".

How about, have EXCLUDE_DIR match against ${BSDSRCDIR}, and
EXCLUDE_SUBDIR match against ${PWD}? I think PWD is pulled in from the
environment when make is invoked, and not changed by make as it
recurses through the subdirectories. Have to check.
