	The code is there to stop people unwittingly compiling something
	without complying with the licence. I'd just like a knob to turn
	it off, useful for bulk building and similar.

	On a related note, if the current build is running interactively
	what would people think about switching the IGNORE to something
	along the lines of:

	${PKGNAME} has an unacceptable license: ${LICENSE}."
	    To view this license, type V then RETURN
	    To build this package automatically, add this line to /etc/mk.conf:
	    ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=${LICENSE}

	If they hit V, display the license and ask if they accept it, maybe
	with an option to add the ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=${LICENSE}...
