The fact that 127 out of ~25K ports are using it is more like indication it
is an exception than "perfectly reasonable" thing.  This is a bug.  This is
needless dependency on src.  Every time I see a port that relies on some
macro from it, it is usually only because people are lazy to write six-line
makefile.  It most likely won't work with staging and/or regular user build
(because of preference to ${INSTALL} ... -o foo -g bar), etc.  Last but not
least, it breaks DragonFly (or BryanBSD, or whatever).

I don't care for DF much, but calling an obvious bug a perfectly reasonable
feature is wrong.
