Hum, right, the emacs pkg does an ugly hack to prevent patching some emacs
Makefiles by making sure INSTALL_PROGRAM gets defined propperly (by us).

Using BSD_INSTALL_PROGRAM is probably cleaner.

Eh, no... Maybe check out all the Free/Net/OpenBSD pkgs/ports, I don't know
offhands too. But I'm sure there's some solution for this.

Yes - make variables != environment variables
And look in pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.mk for how/where BSD_* gets defined.
