	As I understand it:
	If I go to the directory for port FOO and type "make", this
invokes the local Makefile ... which invokes various thing in
ports/Mk/ ... which at some point read /etc/make.conf.
	Is there a per-invocation way to avoid the last step?  I need
to test whether the problem with a particular port is something in
make,conf, and it would be ... expedient ... to not have to move it
aside and then remember to move it back.

	Curiously and lazily,
