It's likely that environment vairables are treated differently, but I
don't really care personally.  I maintain my own build scripts, one for
each package, and pkgsrc will switch.  So it's just that I think it's
unhelpful for the next person, but I can see your point that there are
people for whom it is helpful.

So I change my comment to "abstain'.
