First, we can use :Y in current as soon it is integrated to the tree.
Second, bmake, portable variant of NetBSD make, is very interesting and
featureful make clone that may interest people outside
NetBSD. Personally, I would like to use :Y in my devel/mk-configure
project. mk-configure is a bmake-based build and configuration system
(replacement for autotools) friendly to BSD developers.
