Ah, yes.  I'm sorry.

Ok, thanks for doing this, David.

Has anyone strong objections against the removal?  I can of course
back it out, if there is general agreement.

If not, there is my current plan:

- Teach /usr/src/Makefile's $(MAKE) variable about a world.conf file
  which is included for /usr/src builds.  This needs extensive testing.
- Teach /usr/doc/ similar.
- A patch to bsd.port.mk has already been submitted to portmgr@ and
  is under development.
- Make /etc/make.conf a place for REAL defaults, e.g. CPUTYPE stuff.
