>Description:

If the variable WRKOBJDIR is set in /etc/mk.conf 
(e.g. WRKOBJDIR=/usr/obj/pkgobj), normally /usr/pkgsrc/blah/package/work
becomes a symbolic link to a subdirectry of WRKOBJDIR.

A 'make clean' in the pkgsrc package directory only seems to remove the
work link, but leaves all the data within WRKOBJDIR intact. A subsequent
make will create the link, and then see all of the intact files, including
the work/.??*_done files, so no action is performed, even though make
will report the steps as it undertakes (and falls through) them.

>How-To-Repeat:

Add WRKOBJDIR=/usr/obj/pkgobj into /etc/mk.conf

mkdir -p /usr/obj/pkgobj

cd into a package (e.g. apache), make sure no work directory exists 
(since make will try to create a symbolic link)

make
make clean
ls /usr/obj/pkgobj/path/to/your/selected/package
make

observe the incredible new compiling speed of your machine... :)

>Fix:

Tidy relevant directories and source from WRKOBJDIR by hand
