Is there a good reason why the makefile in 4.4-STABLE should not
have the following patch applied, other than that it's from
5.0-current and could crash my system (it's worked great for me
though)?

By doing this, it's now possible to mount one's /usr/src read-
only, leaving it in a virginal state and making all local config
changes elsewhere, rather than in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, like
`make buildkernel KERNCONF=VAX KERNCONFDIR=/usr/local/etc/k0dehaX'
as one can now do safely in current


Patch is against a few-day-old /usr/src/Makefile.inc1

thanks
