Do you have experience how much stuff breaks when changing PREFER_*?
You can't change PREFER_* at all once you've started building for a
prefix. You will get the dreaded "can't buildlink files" error because
packages will be expecting a dependency that no longer exists or vice
versa.
So instead you'd have a specific, separate build that would change these
variables. In the past I've set up different bulk builds with different
settings to help expose this, but people then assume it's an OS issue
rather than a pkgsrc issue, so this needs to be made a lot clearer.
