No, it doesn't affect people who build as root, since they'll just do
``make install'' as root instead of the developer's process, ``make'' then
``make install''. I do it this way to test various parts of a port's build
before trying installs. Having INSTALL_BEFORE_ARGS helps debug things (i.e.
when ports do things they're not supposed to do during the build).
To -ports: Hello, anyone here!? Do you want me to write code for this
before a discussion ensues???
