This is something that I considered, but I wasn't sure that it was the =
best route to go about things because I thought we were doing away/had =
done away with most of the NO_* knobs (and unfortunately one cannot mix =
and match WITH_* and WITHOUT_* because they're considered contradictory =
according to bsd.own.mk -- something that Simon has debated against =
having in the past).

I'm all for doing that though because that would simplify things greatly =
from an end-user perspective.

Cool! I'll polish up the patch with that piece and send it over to =
benno@ :).

Thanks!
