Thus spake Luke Mewburn ("LM> ") sometime Tomorrow...

LM> Most of the "user tweakable" variables ("MKxxx", etc) are tested

Makes sense.

LM> Some of the "user tweakable" variables ("NOxxx") are tested for
LM> existance, and I've been migrating these to the former category
LM> over time, because of the various problems with these, including
LM> the inability to undefine from the make(1) commandline or
LM> otherwise manipulate them.

Thank you!

LM>   | Perhaps it would be better to have one file in /usr/share/mk
LM>   | (bsd.defaults.mk? bsd.init.mk?) which sets up all the default values
LM>   | before /etc/mk.conf gets included, with no conditional checking (leave
LM>   | that to the "real" .mk files to fix up)?  Just a thought...

LM> That is what <bsd.own.mk> is for.

Ahhh, I just hadn't looked deep or broad enough.  Thank you for clarifying
this!
