 So bootstrap should provide mksrc.  
 The latest version of bmake adds support for FindHereOrAbove
 so you can run boot-strap -m .../mk
 I've fixed ShareDir so it won't return /share (unless it exists),
 so if neither share_dir nor /usr/share contain a mk dir, we
 can use FindHereOrAbove to look for one, but it would be better to be
 told where.

 /usr/share/mk shouldn't be used on anything but NetBSD, so using
 .../mk might be best in this case too?
