System: NetBSD khwarizmi 1.4.2 NetBSD 1.4.2 (GENERIC+MAXUSERS256) #1: Wed Jun 28 03:32:21 EDT 2000 root@khwarizmi:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC+MAXUSERS256 i386


>Description:
	packages(7) is (according to /usr/pkgsrc/Packages.txt) the
cannonical location for documenting build system variables that can be
set in packages Makefiles. The MAKEFILE variable is not documented
there, and it can (sometimes very usefully) be set in package
Makefiles.

>How-To-Repeat:
	man 7 packages | grep MAKEFILE; observe lack of output.
>Fix:

Here is a patch for packages(7):
