Where will it go? How will we search for it? Will /usr/share/mk be used
as a fall-back?
As a Ports user, I'm not fond of this change.. as I don't usually ``cvs
up ports'' but rather do it piecemeal. However, I do ``make world''
periodically.
As a Maintainer, I applaud it and have been wanting it for a long time.
You would not believe the amount of email I get from people trying to
install my ports with an out-of-date bsd.port.mk. The
bsd.port.{pre,post}.mk addition was particularly bad in this respect.
