I'm not sure I explained myself well in the last message. I've already
discussed how make.conf should override the way the options are
presented to the user, which my understanding is that you've already
accomplished. That means that when 3 and 4 happen, the options
presented to the user will already reflect the global configuration
decisions made on the system level.
If at the point the options dialog is presented the user wants to
override the global choices for that particular port, fine. But the
global (make.conf, ports.conf, etc.) choices should always take
precedence absent this user twiddling, and when the options dialog is
first presented to the user it should *always* reflect the global
config choices by default, regardless of 1 and 2 in your list above.
