>Description:
        www/amaya gets a compilation error (missing include file), but
        doesn't stop - or rather, the compilation process seems to
        halt, but then the package goes ageaah and (attempts) to install,
        generating thousands of errors along the way.

>How-To-Repeat:
        I can repeat this using pkg_comp with libkver and NetBSD 3.0
        release sets installed - starting with an almost empty sandbox
        (that is, I do "pkg_comp removeroot" "pkg_comp makeroot", so all
        I have are the small number of packages that makeroot always
        installs for me - for me that includes pkglint, and so, perl as well)

        After that pkg_comp build www/amaya eventually generates...

        But then goes on immediately with ...

gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `install'.

        (etc).   After a bunch of inoccuous looking install messages
        we get

(DIR=`pwd` ; THOTDIR=$DIR/../.. ; export THOTDIR ; \
        cd ../../batch ; $DIR/../bin/grm APP)
Couldn't create directory /home/kre/.amaya
gmake[2]: *** [APP.GRM] Error 1

        Huh???   Why is installing this thing attempting to modify my
        home directory?   That's absurd.   If I was running it, perhaps,        
        that would be appropriate, but I'm not (and clearly cannot here,
        as it didn't even finish compiling).

        There is no /home/kre (and probably no /home even) in he sandbox
        where this is building, so it is no surprise that the attempt to
        maje the .amaya directory fails - however, it should not be doing
        that at all (just because I build/install the thing doesn't mean that
        I have any interest at all in using it - I don't).

        Once again, the error condition is ignored, and the install just
        keeps on chugging along...

        Eventually...

        (and a lot more).   After several hundred (perhaps a thousand or so)
        of similar lines, we keep on keeping on ...

=> Registering installation for amaya-9.2.1nb5

        I would have thought something would have decided to quit by
        now, but no...

        There's somewhere of the orde of a thousand lines like those as well.
        This all ends with ...

        At which point it really does stop.

>Fix:
        ???

        I Have no idea what wwwconf.h is supposed to be, or where it is
        supposed to originate (from some other package?)   Assuming that
        gets fixed, the compilation would perhaps complete, so all of the
        mssing files would probably be able to be created and installed.

        But $HOME/.amaya should *not* be installed at this stage, it is the
        wrong $HOME for the actual amaya user(s).

        Bigger problem - why is the install just proceeding past all
        these errors, instead of quitting as make usually does?
