Patch for man/make.conf.5

Some of the examples for ACCEPT_LICENSES don't work in practice, e.g., the user won't get far by accepting only @FSF-APPROVED, because this excludes most of the system set. On the other hand, the first example ("*") works indeed, but IMHO we shouldn't propagate such a setting (@EULA really should be accepted on a case by case basis only).

Attached patch replaces the examples by more realistic ones.

Patch: Add example to make.conf

So far there are no examples for ACCEPT_LICENSE in make.conf; this patch adds them.
