Well, please don't change the behaviour in every other release, it's
very confusing and people file bugs about it. And -r4 behaviour is
incorrect, as it ignores defaults in profiles when you set anything in
make.conf. -r3 got it correctly so that foo in profiles could be
overriden with -foo in make.conf, this doesn't work any more in -r4.
