Speaking of make.conf knobs (which we weren't, but this is close enough
that I can call it a continuation thread), how hard would it be to put
some way for an 'exclude' list, instead of discrete NO_PERL and NO_SENDMAIL
and NO_FOOTMASSAGE options?  i.e., 'don't build usr.bin/w and sbin/ping
and usr.sbin/lpc', because we're running hacked versions, etc?
named is another that springs to mind.  Sure, on our -STABLE machines,
running BIND8, I installed it in /usr/local/sbin so it doesn't get
clobbered, but that was after I clobbered it three times  *blush*
Hey!  Get your finger away from that 'Your patches?' key!  I'm no 'make'
guru, I wouldn't know where to start on something like that.  Would this
be POSSIBLE firstoff, then would it be REASONABLY FEASIBLE, then how
would we go 'bout it?
