I couldn't find any, too.

Couldn't we put the detection of the correct WEB_PREFIX into 
share/mk/web.site.mk? That way, we would save one line in every 
Makefile. And then, web.site.mk could also test for any Makefile.inc on 
the way from ${.CURDIR} downto ${WEB_PREFIX}.

It would then be possible to strip out all the .include 
"../Makefile.inc" lines from the Makefiles. I would put a comment into 
htdocs/README.txt, that the <filename>Makefile.inc</filename>s are 
included automatically, to avoid confusion with new developers.
