I think this is only useful when you use the value of the variable 
somewhere.  Tom's patches don't, they just care whether or not the 
variable has been defined, the value is never used.

You would unset it by not defining it in the firstplace.  I don't think
www/Makefile should contain something like

    NOCVS=no

and expect you to override that with "NOCVS=yes" on the command line, 
"-DNOCVS" is fine (although both would work).
