By setting TMAKEPATH accordingly. ;) No, seriously, it is especially
useful in case the installation directory is shared (using nfs) by
different machines. At the installations I know that is pretty common
practice. Other than that they might be specifically useful for
educational purposes. IMHO it is tmake's main characteristic to be
useful for development on more than one platform. Personally, I deem
that reason enough to keep the other configuration directories.
In case you take them out, I would suggest to remove the freebsd-g++
directory and put the files directly into share/tmake. Otherwise we
end up with only one subdirectory in there.
