I ask you this because today I received some messages complaining that ports ignore WITH_ and WITHOUT_ knobs placed in Makefile.local. It doesn't seem to be the correct way to set knobs, since that makefile is included only after bsd.port.pre.mk (and usually ports check for knobs before it), but many users seems to do it in that way. So, if this practice is incorrect we should clearly state it so users stop complaining, otherwise we have to fix a lot of ports. -- Alex Dupre
