    In former times the make.conf file has been installed in /etc
    when doing a fresh FreeBSD installation. It contained useful
    commented out options.

    If memory serves me right, the file isn't installed anymore
    by default. Is there a reason ? I regarded this as useful
    tro have it around under /etc, so to say "ready for use".
