Since -c behavior is now the default, we can really drop support for it completely from share/mk stuff and src/ Makefiles. But we still need some way to pass -C globally for file-type installations. How about if we replace the COPY knob with INSTALL_FILE (empty or -c by default) to replace "INSTALL=install -C" /etc/defaults/make.conf hack?
