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.
