I'll come up with something simpler, and smaller.

No, but I like uniformity.  It can stay.

Sure it could be, but I wanted to do it distinctly as large amounts of 
bsd.apache.mk need twiki/updating/modernizing.  Why the general thoughts of no
new files in Mk/ ?  Is there an overhead I'm missing ?

It might even be worth it to start distinctly and later pull it back in.

Not really. Its also largely requested by committers, users, and other.

The end result being something like:

USE_WEBSERVER=	apache20+ ngixX+ zopeY- lighttpdZ

Somewhere you set WEB_SERVER=foo (sort of like APACHE_PORT)

Then using bsd.apache.mk and bsd.mp.mk additions it kind of just works.

Its kind of analogous to the Widget Factory pattern or maybe Sigleton.
