As far as I can tell from various comments (which MAY be wrong), NetBSD's
pmake is, in fact, now bmake. But then, it doesn't actually have any sort
of autoconf in it, so maybe it's not...
I definitely could try to see if bmake will work as a package separate from
pmake, but until I can find a useable source from something recent (what
DID happen to quick.com.au, it appears utterly gone?) - well, I can't.
Things like :U and :L are the main reason I was considering having it done
as separate packages providing alternatives.
