[Genome] Genome Browser Source Compile Error

[Mark Diekhans]

Hi Kelvin,
   The makefiles in the kent tree use GNU make extensions to POSIX make.
BSD make has different set of extensions.  You need to install GNU make
from the FreeBSD ports.  It installs as /usr/local/bin/gmake, so
use command `gmake' to build the tree.
