True.

You probably still can -- just get rid of the "build.sh" part and use
"make" directly (with the desired targets, of course).

I'm pretty sold on the idea of always using the tools though.  I only
patch my build systems themselves with DESTDIR=/ occasionally when I
make goofs because I usually also use them as the test systems, at least
for the case where the buildhost platform is the same as the target's.

I haven't really read the documentation -- just the script itself and of
course it's help output.  :-)

It is indeed rather overloaded with features.  They're all really just
extensions of the features already inherent in the share/mk/* and
Makefile infrastructure though.
