Actually, the reason we included these files in pkgsrc/mk is precisely
so that we could make changes locally, without having to worry about
upstream making the changesiin a timely manner for us.  Case in point
was NetBSD/sh5 at the time, I believe.

I don't see why we should rely on upstream for a pristine copy of
this, as long as the changes themselves are sent upstream.
