I was actually planning on using someone else's religion rather than
starting my own. I don't need/want to go on TV. 8-)

I think it is time to split /usr/src/Makefile so that the bits that
depend on the included mk files are in a makefile that is only accessed
by a make with -m and -f args. This probably will offend Bruce though.
I might have to use _his_ religion. I wonder if he has one? 8-)
