It's late and I haven't looked at the makefile parts. The manual
describes exactly what I'd like to have.
What I don't like about the approach of copying a version of the
guenther magic into ports is that it reintroduces the issue of keeping
the two in sync. I'd rather avoid that.
I think it would be okay to error if ${BSDSRCDIR}/lib/check_sym doesn't
exist (or even /usr/src/lib/check_sym if BSDSRCDIR is unavailable).
Then it should be possible reuse a pretty dumb wrapper like the script
sthen shared. Maybe I miss a subtlety.
