Hmm... So there's no 'finkrc' where I can set global
settings? With MAKEFLAGS it may be merely irritating,
but for instance, I'd like to override CC to avoid
having to symlink /sw/bin/gcc to /sw/bin/distcc.

I agree that cleaning up certainly helps debugging.
But I think that it'd be far cleaner for things like
CC to have a file for settings them. For instance
ccache-default strikes me as something of a hack.

Cheers,

Dara
