Sorry for jumping in, this is just a minor pet peeve of mine.  I use
MAKE_ARGS a lot for portupgrade, but what about for the ones with the
stupid dialog boxes? (samba, mod_php4, etc)

Many of them assume defaults when BATCH is set and are difficult (need a
lot of \\\") or sometimes even impossible to override with environment
variables.

I have no problem with being user-friendly, but IMHO when these are put
in the port should also be automation-friendly and allow itself to be
configured with simple environment variables.
