Why do we need something so "heavyweight"? Why not add an options target to each port's Makefile. Then when I add a new knob, I also add a 1-line explanation to the options: target. Having to go to a seperate tree, checkout, edit, test, commit makes documenting a new option more effort than I think it needs to be.
