bsd.pkg.mk is appraching 100K, and its quite possible the time
taken to parse is each time make is invoked is amounting to
a significant amount of time on packages like gnumeric (with
many many dependencies), not to mention 100 line \ shell
blocks.
What I'd like to see is many of the large shell blocks moved
out into shell scripts that are invoked by bsd.pkg.mk as needed
This would hopefully make thinsg more maintainable also :)
What do people think?
