Yet more reasons that a bunch of this configuration information should
be in /etc, per CGD's recent suggestion. I find myself constantly
re-editing the contents of share/mk to customize such things (these
changes get blown away by my "make build"s) and I wonder how well this
would work at all in an NFS environment. You should be able to set
all this stuff in /etc, along with all the other host specific data.
