Academic interest :)

I'm finding it especially "interesting" that /etc/make.conf, which
to judge from its location is part of the base, depends on a setting
from something in the /usr/ports tree.

... which is why I am trying to install portmaster before doing
anything else.  I may try pkg_tree also, if it doesn't lead into
a dependency maze of its own.
