Also, please note we have a 'pmake' port that is the proper original
pmake (before *BSD embellished it).  Perhaps a different name than
'pmake' is appropriate.

It would not surprise me for someone to end up adding a port of the
current FreeBSD make in case there are folks that find bmake incompatible
with their use of FreeBSD's make in their own projects.  So picking a
good name now would be helpful.
