Someone (who cares about it) should write a shell script that check the environment for "worldstone compliance" by grovelling /etc/make.conf and whatever other things you decide the environment needs to have set. I'd say it should grovel dmesg and/or /var/log/messages for as much information as it can get on the hardware, grovel mount options on drives, and so on, as well. This script should be run when you type "make worldstone", and either deny the build (explaining why), or print out "You could be a contender!", the start time, and then go for it. The output of the configuration grovelling, and the timing, should be written to a file called "worldstone", probably in /usr/src.
