Maybe I'm missing something. You guys didn't like making make.conf
include a make.conf.local, or having sys.mk include it, but what I seem
to be seeing is that you are suggesting 2 files to do the exact same
job. The only discussion I see is how to cut it up.
If it's all a name change, I think that an apology would be in order to
the guy who originally thought the idea up. Putting the files in /etc
or in /usr/share/mk is essentially the same thing, I don't see any
functional difference.
If I'm wrong, could you summarize?
