I understand the functionality of the ports system at a beginning level.
However, with packages, I know that you can use various configure flags to
build the package with just the abilities you need.  Is there a way to do
this with the ports system?  Does it just create a really huge binary to
handle possibly anything you need or does it leave parts out that you MAY
need?
