For example, NO_SENDMAIL vs NOPERL. Is there a reason for this seeming inconsistency? Or is it just that no one has spent the time on it? Obviously, there are no technical difficulties with this -- it just is a little harder for me to remember the name of the variables as I type them into make.conf. -Matt
