Newer *ever* set USE_* in /etc/make.conf or elsewhere. User settable options
are WITH_* and WITHOUT_*

User => Port:
WITH_*, WITHOUT_*

Port => bsd.port.mk
USE_*, WANT_*

In bsd.gnome.mk, we have:

User => Port:
WITH_*, WITHOUT_*

Port => bsd.port.mk
WANT_*

bsd.port.mk => Port
HAVE_*

Port => bsd.port.mk
USE_*

It is really a little bit more complicated than that, especially PORTSDIR,
WRKDIRPREFIX, PREFIX etc are user-settable, but it is supposed to work that
way, and every port that has USE_* as an user-settable option should be
filed a bug report.

I'm not exactly sure if it is ok to communicate User => bsd.port.mk via
WITH_*, though. It should be converted to WANT_*.
