I agree.  It's convenient to have all the ownerships defined in a
central place.

Definitions of `OWN' variables are also duplicated in:

bsd.lib.mk, bsd.port.subdir.mk, bsd.prog.mk, bsd.subdir.mk:
BINOWN

and some `OWN' variables aren't defined in bsd.own.mk:

KMODOWN, LIBOWN.

I don't understand this.  C macros should be defined in C headers.

Don't add any more system macros to sys.mk.  bsd.own.mk and (the system
macros in) /etc/make.conf shouldn't be included in sys.mk because sys.mk
always gets included by default.  bsd.own.mk should be included only in
the system `mk' files.
