make -C and ${.CURDIR}

[Jos Backus]

Consider:

    lizzy:/tmp% cat foo/Makefile 
    bar:
            @echo curdir is ${.CURDIR}
    lizzy:/tmp% make -C foo bar
    curdir is /tmp
    lizzy:/tmp% 

Would it not make more sense for .CURDIR to be set to /tmp/foo? As it stands,

    /tmp# make -C /usr/src world

fails because of this.
