The most practical solution for that is to just override them in
MAKE_ARGS instead of patching it. Sometimes that is not possible but
here it is. The nq port already does this and it is what upstream wants
as well as explained in https://github.com/leahneukirchen/nq/pull/20

Ok, look... None of that seems to be true. If we discuss something like
this can we try to do it on some kind of material basis.

1. nq is stable and simple. There is no reason why there would have
   been a lot of work on it.
2. The last release was in March 2018. That was ~3 years ago.
3. Leah is active elsewhere on GitHub. It is not like she disappeared
   for 3 years.
4. All new pull requests were done in the last 28 days and no
   reasonable time frame for merging them was given before forking.
   Actually all PRs have been merged or given good explanations
   as to why they have been rejected.

There is no basis for forking and switching the package over to it.

Anyway I'll take nq back now and bring in the kqueue patch which seems
to be what this PR boils down to.
