Awesome. All that's missing then, is for _WITHOUT_SRCCONF to be
automatically added to MAKE_ENV...

Hundreds of ports rely on auto-something bundled with the vendor's
sources, that's what I meant. As for how to build a particular package,
that's up to the port-maintainer.

I may sound defensive here, but I'll still repeat, that "this singular
port" (and I do, in fact, have other ones like it) started using
bsd.lib.mk 5 years before src.conf (and its man-page) was added to the tree.
