/usr/local/share/doc/ccache/ccache-howto-freebsd.txt has the following
information:

> To use ccache for ports, just add WITH_CCACHE_BUILD=yes to
> /etc/make.conf. The rest of this guide is for building
> /usr/src and other checkouts.
> 
> To use ccache for base (11.0+) just add WITH_CCACHE_BUILD=yes
> to /etc/src.conf.  Refer to src.conf(5) for more information.

It sounds like /etc/make.conf is for ports and /etc/src.conf is for things like
world and kernel whereas it is not entirely true as ports do pull
/etc/src.conf, don't they?

The only reference to this behavior I could find was removed in this
revision[1]. There's also this comment[2], which points to an email[3] saying
that ports use /etc/src.conf as well.

Should we update it?
