Here's the patch to implement the above. It'll also DTRT when there is
an initial configuration or a reconfigure: ie, it'll actually make the
configuration take effect without manually going 'make config && make'.
It introduces the concept of 'reconfig' to reconfigure. I've
subsequently wondered if that was necessary - comments welcome.
ALWAYS_RECONFIG means that you'll get a chance to change the
configuration whenever you build a new port, but not half-way through
your build (hopefully).
It stores the configuration in ${WRKDIR}/portoptions until a
"saveconfig" or an install. CONFIG_NOSAVE won't save on install.
Comments, please. I'm working on another patch that'll replace the
options parsing within bsd.port.mk in favour of a more
applicaiton-neutral way of doing it, so something like gportconf ("just
a port configuration utility" -
(http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nbm/portconf/gportconf.jpg) and gpkgman
("pib-like port builder and package manager" -
(http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nbm/gpkgman2.jpeg) can be possible again in
the future.
