Hi,

portmgr has been working for long on a new option framework for the =
ports to improve some of the deficiencies in the current framework.  The =
new framework not only streamlines the current inconsistencies, but also =
adds new paradigms like exclusive options, one-of-many, many-of-many, =
and more.

All the details has been documented and written down on the wiki:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/Options/OptionsNG

Documentation on how to use it available here
=
http://www.bayofrum.net/~crees/rendered/porters-optionsng.html#MAKEFILE-OP=
TIONS

patch here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~portmgr/optionsng.diff

The two only ports that are known broken ghostscript8 and ghostscript9:
patch available here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~portmgr/ghostscript-optionsng.patch

I'd like to specially thanks crees for help on documentation.

regards,
Bapt=
