I'm inclined to have a /usr/src/make.conf (world.conf? :), included by the mk files, with path and name overridable by environment variables. > Make.conf should not have extra pollution, it's polluted enough as it is, > and this change at least seems to be pretty innocent. The idea is removing anything pertaining to /usr/src stuff from /etc/make.conf. -- Daniel C.
