Users basically don't need to do anything different at the moment.
OPTIONS dialogues may look a bit different, and the descriptive text
might change a bit, but they work in exactly the same way from the user
perspective.

If you have WITH_FOO or WITHOUT_FOO definitions in /etc/make.conf or
similar, then you will probably need to do some editing at some point.
Not all WITH_/WITHOUT_ options are going: just the ones that are
controlled by OPTIONS dialogues.  For now, I believe everything should
still keep working as before -- deleting the compatibility code is
planned, but it's going to be a while yet before the ports is anywhere
near ready for that to happen.

	Cheers,
