Cool.  So setenv INSTALL "install -C" should do the trick for me
before I build, right?  I should also be able to put this in
/etc/make.conf, if I read sys.mk correctly.

Without that hack, it took 1:11:35 to do a make all install.  I'll
have to see what delta that has on the build time.

Also, should I bother with make depend?  It takes another hour on my
machine.  It seems that there should be an easy way to tell if the
.depend file is out of date or not.  Will have to think about this
because I want to use the feature, but not pay so high a price when 20
files in the whole system have changed.  Or does this fall into the
category of "always do a make depend, or we'll not help you if you get
an odd failure" category?
