	I had a feeling that I misunderstood you, which is why I asked for
a clarification.

	"Straight forward" (sic) to you isn't necessarily so to me,
especially where issues related to make are concerned. To start with, I
wouldn't even have know where to start looking (make code, some other
code, *.mk files, make.conf...). If all it took was a simple change you
could have said so. 

	Given that someone more knowledgeable than I has already stepped
forward, it looks like it will get taken care of anyway, so no sweat. If
not, I do have a scratch disk that I can run through the procedure on, and
now that I know where to look, yes, the fix is obvious enough. 

Thanks for your help,

Doug
