I'd prefer the information to be stored in the package Makefile, but I'm not
happy with all the "NO_*" stuff we inherited from FreeBSD. In particular,
"NO_FOO= yes" has always struck me as being a cack-handed way of doing
things. So, how about

BULK_BUILDABLE?= yes

in bsd.pkg.mk, and in the individual package Makefiles have:

BULK_BUILDABLE= no

There again, I don't particularly like the actual term "BULK_BUILDABLE", but
that's just me.

Regards,
Al
