 Last year I have added support for separating the pkgsrc source files 
 from the build logs (look for BULKFILESDIR in mk/bulk/bsd.bulk-pkg.mk). 
 My current plans were to deprecate bulk builds that put their log files 
 into the pkgsrc tree and to convince all bulk builders that having 
 separate directories is better.
 
 I think there is too few documentation on the bulk builds, so that only 
 few people know about this feature.
 
 Nevertheless, I have applied your patch.
