I got tired of these silent screens and added an audible sound
warning to /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk :

It has to be patched each time the ports tree is cvsupped and it
may not be the best place to do it but it seems to work (for me).

It could be much better written with a call to an external script
with more options and eliminate hard-coded values.  It probably
causes ozone depletion and other scary things.  YMMV.

I'm almost sure something like this will never get officially added
since its probably considered bloat.  At least I'm not wasting
hours of build time not knowing I need to push a button.
