Methinks you've been poking around in the 4.3-reno sources,
which use Adam de Boor's "incompatible with 20 years of
UNIX history" make program.  The .include directive looks in
/usr/share/mk, which appears to be missing from the distribution
on uunet.

That sounds like my department.  I'll get back to y'all.
(Actually, I thought only fingerd was broken???)
