hmm, 'sudo -c builders make build', nice. But... I am already member of class
'staff', which in login.conf is described:
staff:\
:datasize-cur=75M:\
:datasize-max=infinity:\
:maxproc-max=256:\
:maxproc-cur=128:\
:ignorenologin:\
:requirehome@:\
:tc=default:

it seems i am mistaken about this. I was pointed off-list at csh's 'unlimit
datasize' command, and following that trace found ksh's equivalent, ulimit.
So that becomes 'sudo ulimit -d unlimited' - which just gives me "sudo:
ulimit: command not found". Not as easy as i thought it could be :P
Thank you very much for the pointers, now i know where to look, and it didn't
feel right having to be root to build things ;)
