And take into consideration, that /etc/make.conf won't get
overwritten by "make installword". We should think carefully
what is "static" and belongs to /usr/share/mk and what will
be overwritten by users or administrators.

And it's nice to have a common place for such changes, like
stuff under /etc. This is the central point, where I tweak
settings, especially in make.conf.

I suggest, don't spread that stuff around, if it's not "generic".
