Hey? I understand that for a "make release" to work you must _not_ have
MAKE_EBONES in your make.conf. Ask Jordan - I stuffed up part of the last
release schedule (2.0.5) by having this in my /etc/make.conf while Jordan
did not. We were "last-minute-lets-get-this-in" engineering the eBones
code and the @#$% thing was not working at WC.

I agree that it may be useful to be able to set something in make.conf
to _not_ make eBones even if the directory is present, but our present
logic is "broken as designed" IMHO.
