You don't have to make "*" standard. It will be the users fault
if he uses "*". But please provide that that feature. Don't make
me write a script which automaticaly adds all new license to my
make.conf. The amount of licenses tells that there are licenses
added alot. This requires to edit make.conf alot if you can't
use "*". I understand that you don't want it by default. But
please offer the functionality because i really don't want to
edit make.conf after new licenses get added or some changed.
