  FreeBSD src repository

  Log:
  Introduce a variable TARGETS that can be set on the make command
  line

This sounded excellent until I read on.

  and that controls which platforms are being built as part of a
  "make universe".

That's not quite what I had expected with a variable called TARGETS.
Wouldn't PLATFORMS be more "intuitive"?

Maybe. I chose TARGETS because the loop in question was:
        .for target in amd64 arm i386 ...

Also, TARGETS is in line with TARGET and/or TARGET_ARCH, which
relate closely to MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH. It seems a good
choice to me...

I don't mind if people change it to a different name, whether more
intuitive to promote its use or less intuitive to limit/demote its
use. I just like having the functionality because it allows me to
use make universe more often :-)
