In mk/buildlink3/bsd.buildlink3.mk we have

BUILDLINK_CPPFLAGS=     # empty
BUILDLINK_LDFLAGS=      # empty
BUILDLINK_LIBS=         # empty
BUILDLINK_CFLAGS=       # empty


Shouldn't that be better


BUILDLINK_CPPFLAGS?=     # empty
BUILDLINK_LDFLAGS?=      # empty
BUILDLINK_LIBS?=         # empty
BUILDLINK_CFLAGS?=       # empty


so that there's the opportunity to define some pkgsrc-wide defaults  
in mk.conf? With these variable names not starting on '_' (i.e. not  
being marked as local only) I would have assumed that this could be  
done.
