Bryan's proposal is for ports. /usr/obj is for things in the base.

The equivalent to MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX in ports is WRKDIRPREFIX, but IMO the
ccache cache should be independent of either.

Personally I don't see why we would want to change the defaults here at
all. There are 2 possibilities ... either the user has customized the
location, in which case we shouldn't mess with it. Or, they haven't, in
which case if the regular default for the port is good, it should be
used. If it isn't, it should be fixed for all users.
