Well, I have nothing against the "old" semantics being available.  I
just think it's broken for them to be the default.

Exactly how to request them is a question I'm mostly agnostic on, since
the only use I have for them is in the NetBSD build process itself.
Envariable, makefile macro, command-line flag, whatever.
