The old apache13-php3, which served as the inspiration for portconf,
allowed you to just twiddle options, and it did all the work.

In portconf, it created: option-{pre,post}-{extract,patch,build,install}
if the option gave that target. This either (I was undecided, and
didn't get feedback) makes a line:
"pre-patch: option1-pre-patch option2-pre-patch"
or:
"portconf-pre-patch: option1-pre-patch option2-pre-patch"
And did the magic. I think the first one would work fine, due to the
way make(1) works. PKGNAME was the main problem, but that can easily be
solved with the new PKGNAME_SUFFIX stuff.
