:bde> Bogus.  make.conf is already entirely local.  It is the local extension

: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.

    Hmm.. ok, works for me.  Anyone have any objections to having sys.mk
    check for an /etc/make.conf.local after /etc/make.conf ?
