I would need to grep the make.conf for the appropriate line, wouldn't I?
I haven't figured that CFLAGS is an environment variable anyware.

I can match the right line with grep, but I haven't figured out how to
store the match in another var I could then use thus:

# cat /etc/make.conf | grep ^CFLAGS=
result of grep or something stored in $1 	<- Perl Like ;)
# make $1     					<- which will override the CFLAGS in the makefile

Suggestions?  I thought this to be the easiest way. I could redirect
grep to a file, but would rather keep it in memory.

Cool.
