Yes, at one point, I suggested to a set of flags that may be used
in /etc/mk.conf, e.g. with the following names:

     BUILD_SENDMAIL=NO
     BUILD_UUCP=NO
maybe even
     BUILD_INET_APPS=NO

etc. The idea is that you can select to omit a single or a group of
programs from the build process.

Doing this allows me to continue having a complete set of NetBSD sources
for reference, even if I only install parts of the system.
