Putting something like that in src/ seems a bit dangerous.
For one thing, it'd be kinda subject to cvs[up] updates, which can
totally screw up whatever you have in there.  And then there are those of
us who avoid any 'non-clean src/' problems by newfs'ing /usr/src and
/usr/obj between builds and doing a fresh cvs co.  I'd think we could
probably come up with some sort of solution that would avoid those little
gotchas...
