+ 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.
