            Bug ID: 196478
           Summary: [enhancement] Change make.conf parser to accept ""
                    like rc.conf
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rsimmons0 at gmail.com

The parser for make.conf does not work well with quotation marks. If the value
has multiple entries, using quotation marks prevents the file from being parsed
properly.

For example, if you enter
OPTIONS_UNSET="DOCS EXAMPLES NLS"
it is not parsed properly.

If you enter
OPTIONS_UNSET=DOCS EXAMPLES
everything works fine.

If the parser was changed so that quotation marks are parsed well, then the
sysrc(8) utility can be used to create and modify make.conf.
