right, but, for instance, somebody who wants an easy rebuild without
this "feature" for whatever reason can't particularly easily do that.

I'm not sure it's a problem worth solving, but it's actually similar
to a larger problem within NetBSD that is more likely to be worth
solving: it's pretty much impossible to disable builds of "random
programs" in any kind of centralized way.  if you want to do that,
you've gotta go in and hack makefiles, which is kinda losing.
