I fixed it in qemu. Please fix the others since you already have a list.

I always wonder about these weird usage patterns we have, like

- always include files from the category level, i.e.

  .include "../../www/webkit-gtk41/Makefile.common"

  even thought "../webkit-gtk41/Makefile.common" would also work

- having to have ${.CURDIR} before ../../category/path for
  DISTINFO_FILE and PATCHDIR.

Why is this necessary?
