The only thing I can think of, which also may be the reason that it's
called 'pre-buildworld' mode, is that it checks /etc/make.conf against
the make.conf from your sources.  If any new knobs and/or options have
been introduced, you might want to tweak those first before you start
building...

Personally, I always run mergemaster -p just after cvsupping and
reading UPDATING, just to see if I didn't miss anything. :)
