I applaud this effort to provide a source compile mode for DRM, but I think it has come up a bit short on execution with numorious problems sited. I too am not real happy that /usr/local/src is going to get automatically invoked from my some odd 10+ src trees that are of various WIP's. I need a way to easily disable this both on a global scale, and on a per src tree way. Rather than a default to on with an opt out mechanism perhaps while we gain experience change this to a default to off with an opt in mechanism? Sadly I do not have proposed solution, but something better than what is there now needs to be found.
