: For future reference, this kind of thing was one of the advantages of
: moving to /etc/defaults/make.conf.  All you had to do was define
: NO_SUIDPERL in src/etc/defaults/make.conf. :-)

But if I had done that, then there'd be no way to undefine it in
/etc/make.conf.  That's why I changed the name of the variable also,
so people that wanted suidperl would be forced to set it in
/etc/make.conf.
