Re: Add a few comments to Makefile.template

I already find the current Makefile.template quite wordy and I think
most of the suggested lines belong in bsd.port.mk(5). I would rather
go for a clear hint at the top of the template that new porters should
study bsd.port.mk(5) and the porting guide in the FAQ.

I'm okay with this one. It doesn't add more lines and nudges the porter
in the right direction.

How about: #HOMEPAGE = https:// ??? URL
This might be enough to get more new ports to go for https without
adding more lines.

All other suggested changes are too much IMO and are more of a tutorial
than a template.
