    I could live with that.  The stuff in make.conf probably belongs in a
    man-page anyway rather then an /etc file, and removing make.conf from
    /usr/src/etc or blanking it allows /etc/make.conf to be used in a 
    manner similar to rc.local.

    Now, does anyone have any objects to moving make.conf to a man page 
    and blanking /usr/src/etc/make.conf ?
