+       Use bmake by default.
+       Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via
+       -DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old
+       make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE.
+
+       It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command
+       line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the
+       command line.  Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer
+       than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent
+       behavior in parallel build.
