I do agree that WRKSRC definitely does describe an attribute of the
distfile and one that does often change when the distfile changes.

Note though that the most common cases where an explicit WRKSRC setting
must be given are usually those cases where WRKSRC does not change when
the distfile changes.  :-)

However I don't really care where it is in the Makefile and I'd most
prefer that it not move from wherever it happens to be now in any given
Makefile.

(I also agree that CATEGORIES should go down just _below_ COMMENT. :-)
