Sounds like you have a couple of Gentoo boxes there. You may want to
look into a recent feature that was added. /etc/make.conf now supports
the source keyword like shell scripts. You can have a network wide
make.conf that you include on all your hosts. Then override whatever
needs it. That's all the input I have since I know nothing about afs.
