That's right. And, effectively, I just wanted to know the reason for 
this renaming. One reason for providing the proposed platform.default.mk 
file was to have a single point where such things can be documented.

While we're at it, would you mind renaming SETENV to ENV_CMD? That is 
the pattern used for the other tools that have their "real name" 
environment variable reserved.

Sadly, I got no feedback about my second approach of 
platform.default.mk. The argument of Hubert still stands that my version 
might be slower than the current one. But compared to other components 
of pkgsrc, I think this is negligible.
