That fixed it, thanks!

Now where is that documented?  Anywhere?  Now that I Google that option, 
okay, it's in bdb.mk, but...  hard to do that if you don't know it's 
there.  :)

I did (do) have DISABLE_LICENSES=yes in there, but that's more to disable 
prompts at 'poudriere options' time, I guess.
