Get rid of the WITH_/WITHOUT_ prefixes and just use +/- to enable/disable
options:
PORTOPTIONS= NONE +FOO -BAR +FOO-BAR
The above would then create the 4 packages: standard, +foo, -bar, +foo-bar.
This way the port maintainer can specify which packages bento can build,
without bento having to create a package for each combination of options.

These port options would need to be passed to the configure scripts via the
SCRIPTS_ENV variable. The security/cyrus-sasl port currently has this
capability to pass port options to its configure script. The configure
script bypasses the dialog/xdialog menu when BATCH is defined (see the
security/cyrus-sasl ports Makefile & scripts/configure.sasl for an example).
cd /usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl
make configure -DBATCH ENABLE_DB3=YES
Will cause the port to configure it self with a dependency on the db3 port
in batch mode and without the dialog menu showing.
NOTE: I'll rename them to WITH_ in the next port upgrade.
