Sounds like an interesting idea, but why couldn't people just

  nice +5 fink install bundle-kde

instead of needing a setting within fink? Not that we can't have more
than one way for a user to do things...I don't know how much
redundancy is too much. Perhaps the useful mod would be to have fink
apply its setting to the *Script but not to fink itself. If I say
"fink build foo", I'd want to know ASAP what else is going to be
built/installed/etc, but then let the compile phase get niced down.
