Is the idea to move all the ports over to the OPTIONS stuff ? That's going
to be a real pain for those of us maintaining a lot of machines. I like to
keep everything in make.conf too - I found that for Apache it is possible
to do 'WITHOUT_APACHE_OPTIONS=yes' and then it uses the make.conf knbos
crrectly - will other ports end up working like this as well ?

cheers,

-pete.
