    What?  make.conf isn't a 'local' file?  :-)  You guys are actually going
    to uncomment something in the official make.conf to do the ELF 
    conversion? 

    I suppose we can hold off for a week or two.

    *OR* we can simply add the make.conf.local functionality, which was
    what I wanted to do in the first place.  Nice and neat, functinoal,
    no skin off anyone's nose except maybe for a few purists.
