I need to redefine FD_SETSIZE to a larger value on a local machine
and don't know the best way to do it so that it doesn't get stomped
on every cvsup.  Currently I'm defining it in /usr/src/sys/sys/types.h,
but it should be able to be defined externally (in make.conf?).

Does anyone know how?

Cheers,
Joe
