| 11 | The docs for INSTALL_MASK (man 5 make.conf) don't mention that globs |
| 12 | will work. It's expecting a "space delimited list of file names." Does |
| 13 | it really take a space-delimited list of globs instead? If so, how does |
| 14 | that reconcile with the fact that * could match spaces? |
