The only variables I set in my environment are
	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX	(doesn't work in mk.conf anyway)
	MACHINE			(for convenience)
	TOOLDIR			(not really necessary)
(I have a shell alias which sets MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX & MACHINE based on
an argument, so I have separate obj trees per MACHINE build)

I set the following in mk.conf:
	MKUNPRIVED=yes
	MKUPDATE=yes
	OBJMACHINE=

build.sh provides reasonable defaults for DESTDIR, RELEASEDIR (etc),
and there's absolutely no need to set BSDOBJDIR if using
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX or MAKEOBJDIR.

In short, "whatever works".

Note that you can't set MAKEOBJDIR or MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX in mk.conf,
only in the environment.
