bsd.(fast.)prefs.mk is included all over the place. The fast version
exists simply to not have to check for the include guards all over the
place, but still minimize parse time. It is 8 lines long, including 5
lines of unparsed noise. So it adds only a few system calls, but
otherwise doesn't contribute to parse time.
