Do not write anything to files outside
      WRKDIR.  WRKDIR is the
      only place that is guaranteed to be writable during the port
      build (see 
	installing ports from a CDROM for an example of
      building ports from a read-only tree).  The
      pkg- files can
      be modified by redefining a
	variable rather than overwriting the file.*
