 Replying to [comment:1 afb@…]:
 > The handling of "bsdmake" seems strange, since the code uses "make" on
 FreeBSD and "pmake" on Linux.

 I think the default Make on FreeBSD is BSD Make, while on Linux it’s
 [http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/pmake.1.html
 installed as “pmake”].

 > Anyway, the path to the various makes are set when doing the ./configure
 so doing it in build is a tad late.

 The code in `portbuild` is evaluated before any phases are performed. The
 `build.cmd` option just determines the command that is run as part of the
 build phase.
