I've sent a patch (which should be in /n/sources/patch IIRC) to make
mk use $MKFILE as its mkfile when there is no mkfile in the current
directory.
I've done this after discovering that I had lots of mkfiles which just had
< $home/lib/skel/mkrules
inside. Now I can't leave without it, since I can go to a directory with a .ms
and run mk without creating such a silly mkfile there.

Why you changed the source of mk and didn't use a script like
if test -f mkfile
mk
if not
mk $MKFILE
call it mk and put it in your /bin?

I do such wrappers when I feel that the change is useful just for my
preferences. However, I tend to modify the original program when
I think that both the change does not break or clutter the program
and that most of our local users would like it too.
Of course, if in the future nobody but me is using that, I'll revert to
the orginal program and use a wrapper instead.
