Don't worry, I enjoy chopping off noses. :)

What birdie?

 * This would require a little more work on the 'back' side, but what would
 * be so hard about just checking $Id$ strings around the .mk files?  If
 * not for the revision, at least for the date.

Which .mk files?

Note that it's not bsd.port.mk's version we need -- we already have
that.  We need something on the system to compare against.

 * Well, certainly, it's not always feasible, but I never understood this
 * one in particular.  It always seemed like a PERFECT candidate for an
 * OSVERSION (or whatever) bump; certainly the 3.1+ only, since pre-3.1
 * didn't have the -A (3.1 didn't either, but that would cut out all the
 * complaints from pre-3.1'ers).

That only works if the user recompiled the kernel, since that's where
we're getting it from.  (Or we can get it from <sys/param.h> but
bsd.port.mk is not a compiler.)
