Updating the old stuff is OK as long as you update the _comments_,
too;-) I'd think many people are as lazy as I am<g> and skip that
(the computer doesn't care;) Esp. /etc/make.conf is "enriched"
constantly with new specs, existing parameters may take on new
values etc.
Therefore I always use the new version as a template and re-insert
the previous customizations to keep the comments up-to-date. It
means more work...
