System: NetBSD road-runner.mit.edu 1.3E NetBSD 1.3E (ROAD-RUNNER) #94: Mon Mar 16 11:12:37 EST 1998 nathanw@road-runner.mit.edu:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ROAD-RUNNER i386


>Description:
	The variables INSTALL_TARGET and ALL_TARGET that a package's Makefile
can usefully override aren't documented anywhere. This leads to needless
frustration when first trying to construct a package that doesn't have 
standard "all" and "install" targets.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	Document them! Something like this patch would be a good start.
