In that respect, it is rather well that make.conf is big. :-) (I'm serious, though.)

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: hoek State-Changed-When: Sat Aug 21 19:03:38 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: Yes, we know /etc/make.conf has too many entries. Unfortunately, this is one of those few, rare cases where what's needed is not a PR saying this is what needs to be done, but someone who's willing to standup and do what they think needs to be done, all hell be damned. >Unformatted:
