Here I agree completely. I have always been puzzled by the naming of this
knob. But it was the only way to achieve the goal. It is now a different
knob entirely -- but under the same name, which is quite confusing.

I am thinking, however, of something explicit like:

	WANT_SHARED_LIB	?=	yes
	WANT_STATIC_LIB ?=	yes
	WANT_PIC_LIB	?=	yes

with the existing NOPROFILE and others to remain as "compatibility"
interfaces for a while, for example:

	.ifndef WANT_PIC_LIB
	.ifndef NOPROFILE
	WANT_PIC_LIB	 =	yes
	.else
	WANT_PIC_LIB	 =	no
	.endif
	.endif

The last change broke not only some ports, but who knows how many
personal projects, which where doing the Right Thing (IMO) and used
the bsd.*.mk

I will not have time to make a patch in a while :-\, however...

Any way to determine quickly from inside the Makefile, which version
of the bsd.lib.mk is installed?
