:As few people already mentioned, add -DCNOCLEAN flag after
:makeworld or makekernel.

:And you can disable the building of most contributed
:packages, like gdb, sendmail, cvs, games, etc. See make.conf(5).

What 'quickworld' does in DFly is skip the bootstrap, buildtools, and
cross-build steps. Since cleaning occurs before bootstrap, it also
effectively skips cleaning.
We have a 'realquickworld' too which also skips the 'depend' step.
It's a convenience target for developers, nothing more, and considerably
easier to type in then make buildworld -<shift>DNOCLEAN<unshift>. And
since it skips several major steps it is a lot faster too. I figure
that 99% of the time someone wants to do a make -DNOCLEAN buildworld,
they would also be able to skip those steps without creating new issues.
'quickkernel' does not exist yet because I haven't investigating
separating out the buildkernel steps yet. The documentation was ahead
of the game, there :-) I just cd into /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/<NAME>
and type 'make' there when I want a quick kernel recompile.
