+<bsd.prog.mk> may be used to build several programs in a single directory.
+Just define the list of programs as PROGS instead of using PROG.
+For instance PROGS = foo bar
+
+Each program of the list, for instance foo, will use SRCS_foo instead
+of SRCS to find its sources.  SRCS_foo still defaults to foo.c, and
+MAN still defaults to section 1 manpages: MAN = foo.1 bar.1.
+
+Each program can have its separate LDADD_foo and DPADD_foo definitions.
+If not defined, these default to LDADD/DPADD.
+
+Some simple examples:
+To build foo from foo.c and bar from bar.c with manual pages foo.1 and bar.1:
+
+	PROGS = foo bar
+
+	.include <bsd.prog.mk>
+
+If bar has manual page bar.8 instead, add the line:
+	MAN = foo.1 bar.8
+
+If bar has multiple source files, add the line:
+	SRCS_bar = a.c b.c c.c d.c
+
+Note that foo and bar may share some source files, like so:
+	SRCS_foo = foo.c common.c
+	SRCS_bar = bar.c common.c
