I also need to look twice when I see mixtures like that.  On this front, 
I think it's past time to get rid of these NO_* variables and replace 
them with positive DO_* variables, e.g.:

	NO_BUILD=yes		==>	DO_BUILD=no
	NO_CONFIGURE=yes	==>	DO_CONFIGURE=no
	NO_INSTALL=yes		==>	DO_INSTALL=no

The DO_* variables could default to "yes" so they don't need to be 
explicitly set in the vast majority of cases.  This new naming 
convention would avoid semantic confusion for everyone, myself included.
