My hesitation was really only due to all of the documentation and
presentations you've done with it named "WITH_META_MODE". If you don't
mind renaming I would like to, if nothing else because it will help
remove some confusion on what "meta mode" is when discussing it (since
it's both a bmake feature and a new build).

Great, thanks. Definitely will be useful.

Yes. I do understand the want of a 'make tools' step as well. I just am
latching onto the "go into bin/cat, type make, and watch the magic" goal
without needing a "oh and btw you sometimes need to build a toolchain if
X, Y or Z". I won't push a forced toolchain into meta mode until I have
something more smart worked up.
