+   <li>Control <code>SEPARATE_BUILD</code> semantics<br>
+       You have to do this only if the port builds with
+       <code>SEPARATE_BUILD</code> defined.
+       Ideally, the port should no longer modify any file in
+       <code>${WRKSRC}</code> after <code>make patch</code>.
+       You can check this by making sure you don't have any write access
+       to <code>${WRKSRC}</code>. Then you can set
+       <code>SEPARATE_BUILD=concurrent</code>: someone can use the same
+       source tree to build on distinct arches simultaneously.
+       Otherwise, set <code>SEPARATE_BUILD=simple</code>: building on
+       distinct arches simultaneously may meet with problems, as some 
+       source files may be regenerated at awkward moments.
