 From bsd.port.mk:
 
   # Note: the distinction between the USE_* and WANT_* variables, and the
   # WITH_* and WITHOUT_* variables, are that the former are restricted to
   # usage inside the ports framework, and the latter are reserved for user-
   # settable options.  (Setting USE_* in /etc/make.conf is always wrong).
 
 I will make a note to myself to add the text about WANT_* to the Porter's
 Handbook.  The other variables are discussed correctly in 
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-options.html
 
 and
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-depend.html
 
 (down towards the end.)
