Please "cd ../.." before running "make help". It will be much faster. It also doesn't execute some arbitrary commands based which package you are in.
Oops, I forgot that this only works in my local tree, and I didn't commit it 
yet. ;)
Indeed... I had a check to see if "./mk/bsd.pkg.mk" exists and then run 
the command, but that didn't work. ;-)
I'll leave this to you when you've committed your changes (after I've 
added this... busy busy here)
