   Johnny, would it be possible to implement your changes in a way that 
allows existing (2nd level) packages to remain unchanged?  I.e., only 
3rd (or further) level packages need to include Makefile.inc and use 
${PKGSRCDIR} in their include statements?

   This way we could gradually make these changes for packages that come 
in different flavours (or versions).

   Cheers
