Precedence: bulk

 * it will allow us (those of us without a gig disc to spare for ports)
 * to compile much of ports without all ( I for instance have set a SUBDIR in my
 * .cshrc that skips japanese & russian & games & audio )

Setting SUBDIR in your environment is not the correct way to do this,
among other things it will screw up some ports that include some other 
bsd.*.mk (eispack? or something) 'cause they use the SUBDIR too.

For skipping individual ports or subtrees, you can use DUDS, as in

make package DUDS="japanese russian games audio"
