^^^  This is a common error with using the "make" on FreeBSD -- there
is an unintended space in the makefile, and FreeBSD's make is very picky
about this.  The make in -current (and on my machine) is not so
picky :-). !!!

Yep -- remove the space at the end of the line.  (I think that it is
actually just before line 90 -- I could be wrong.)  I think that I am
going to try out the apache server too -- just for grins.
