Actually, I had some problems with this.  It's not at all intuitive
how this works.  I spent several hours sifting through system mk files
trying to figure out why I couldn't get it to make the symlinks to
/usr/obj.  I finally found out it was because my /usr/src is actually
a symlink already (to /local/src, another drive).  This broke this
particular feature, because it thought I wasn't in /usr/src.

Doing a "setenv BSDSRCDIR /local/src" fixed the problem, since that
was the true location of my src tree.  I got to learn more about the
share/mk files than I really wanted to... ;-)  This is prime material
for a FAQ entry.
