>Description:
I just noticed that KERNEL was left out of the make.conf man page.
Since it's also left out of /etc/defaults/make.conf, this is a
serious oversight.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ man make.conf | grep KERNEL
$ grep KERNEL /etc/defaults/make.conf
and notice that there's no output.
>Fix:
Here's a patch to the make.conf man page.
