:D
Being a Gentoo user as well, I know ebuilds can tweak the makefile
before running it. It just needs a permanent "convention" with the
ebuild maintainer. I hence think it's not necessary to give up the
makefile syntax for GNU on BSD.
Anyway thank you very much for your job, Simon. I've been using dnsmasq for years now and still will for a long time to come.
