WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER Hmm I don't see anything in share/mk for NO_ROOT. I see some tweaks in src/Makefile.inc1 though. Is there more somewhere? > is broken.

Losing the ablity to do that would be a problem. > Comments? My only concern would be if it somehow depends on top-level build it won't work for those of us who do that or at least not using Makefile.inc1 What can I look at to better understand NO_ROOT ?
