Hello!

The rc.d/wscons startup script is used to configure wscons at boot
time. The wscons.conf contains a set of keywords and parameters,
parsed by rc.d/wscons. One of them is 'setvar'. Unfortunately,
it's limited enough to be not used at practice. The offered patch
extends 'setvar's functionality, so it becomes a good method for
manual wscons manipulations.

Any objections to commit (patch is against 3.1, but I'll adopt it
for current)?
