Uh...  I'm not even sure *how* to react to that.  There's nowhere to
do that reasonably in /usr/src/Makefile, where it would need to go in
order to make that work, and a perversion of *that* subdir list would
be worse than the disease.

I think I may just have to change bsd.info.mk to check this. :(
