+ 3.2.1.3 pre-build.local
+ =======================
+
+It is possible to configure the bulk build to perform certain site 
+specific tasks at the end of the pre-build stage.  If the file
+``pre-build.local'' exists in pkgsrc/mk/bulk it will be executed
+(as a sh(1) script) at the end of the usual pre-build stage.  An
+example use of pre-build.local is to have the line:
+
+	echo "I do not have enough disk space to build this pig." \
+		> games/crafty-book-enormous/$BROKENF
+
+to prevent the system from trying to build a particular package
+which requires nearly 3 Gb of disk space.
