Which you'll see if you don't use the designated build{world|kernel} targets, 
but cd into a directory and start typing make or....quite the pitfall, run 
make obj depend, rather then make obj && make depend. In the first case, the 
.depend file ends up in .CURDIR, not .OBJDIR.

Also, perhaps it's better to advise make cleanworld for the rm -rf, as this 
target accomplishes the same, deals better with chflags(2) and leaves 
/usr/obj/usr/ports in tact for those who have set WRKDIRPREFIX to /usr/obj for 
ports.
