I just discovered that we have a variable name colission between the

except that it doesn't just get used in release/Makefile, it's used in
the base Makefile.inc1 for a number of things that I'm not entirely
sure
what it's for.
Can someone figure out what we should do in this case?
This was discovered because ezjail-admin sets DISTDIR for ports, but
it
was breaking my -DNO_ROOT installworld by putting the METALOG in an
incorrectly documented place (since fixed)...
