I could live with that. The stuff in make.conf probably belongs in a
man-page anyway rather then an /etc file, and removing make.conf from
/usr/src/etc or blanking it allows /etc/make.conf to be used in a
manner similar to rc.local.
Now, does anyone have any objects to moving make.conf to a man page
and blanking /usr/src/etc/make.conf ?
