Then why are they installed in /usr/share/mk?  It does not say they
are private to the BSD source tree, only that the BSD source tree uses
them.  The itnerface has been basically stable since 1.0 FreeBSD.
Outwise folks are using them.  There's no need to screw them
gratuitously.

But this is pointless.  Unless you go and include a new file at the
start of every makefile in the tree changing the bsd.*.mk files to
include the global config file is meaningless because it is too late.
