Oh, I was commenting on the final result. As an intermediate step you  
can have bsd.linux.mk separate and don't include anything in it. If it  
is ready, we can move from including it explicitly to including it  
implicitly by asking portmgr to test a patch which adds linux.mk to  
port.mk, adds linux-XXX.mk to linux.mk and removes linux-XXX.mk from  
port.mk. Not a big deal, I think.

Bye,
Alexander.
