Hi,

the pkgsrc guide says that this program is "executed as a &man.sh.1; 
script". This is wrong.

It is actually sourced in and can overwrite any variables or shell 
settings of the "build" script. Is that intended at all? To have a more 
controlled environment for the "build" script I would like to implement 
what the documentation says, that is to call

     /usr/bin/env BROKENF="${BROKENF}" /bin/sh mk/bulk/pre-build.local

This would also eliminate the need for exporting the BROKENF variable 
globally. Oh, yes, that's another thing I want to achieve. Keep the 
scope of the shell variables as small as possible. This makes code 
reviews and documentation much easier. Just imagine you had to list all 
environment variables that could influence one of the current programs 
in mk/bulk. I can tell you it's hard work.
