For the record, gnu/cc/cc_tools/Makefile is where I first spotted a
potential "bsd.progs.mk" candidate. Most of the other code doesn't
care given how things are organized in our source tree.

Both parties (Isilon/Juniper) are converging on the ATF porting work
that Giorgos/myself have done after talking at the FreeBSD Foundation
meet-n-greet. I have contributed all of the patches that I have other
to marcel for feedback.

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea as I'm currently suspended a bit
waiting on feedback for how to proceed; too bad freebsd-test is being
used for other things :)..
