mdillon> Give make.conf a make.conf.local capability similar to rc.conf's mdillon> rc.conf.local capability. Eases large-site administration. bde> Bogus. make.conf is already entirely local. It is the local extension bde> of <sys.mk>. True. Also, this change breaks the declarative "VAR = VALUE" structure of "make.conf" by bringing in "active statements" with BSD make syntax and semantics. If we need to do active things like checking for an additional "local" files then it is better done from a top level makefile. Koshy <jkoshy@freebsd.org>
