does, then I thinks that's the best solution. Someone might have
a very good reason for setting GREP_OPTIONS and for bsd.port.mk
to blithely undo that setting isn't the right solution IMHO.
me, for instance. i had a good reason, but thinking back a lot of things
stopped working properly, because i couldn't connect some totally unrelated
environemnt variable with:
- checksums not working,
- unneccessary, gigantic rebuilds, eg. of the entire X library.
now lemme get this straight: if $GREP_OPTIONS is unset in the make files,
they are *not exported up* to the enclosing environment of the caller, they
only last for the make process.
so, yes, this little thing should definitely be added to the bsd.ports.mk.
the entire environment should be cleaned up and standardized in this file.
this will not disturb anything, but it will save people a lot of headaches.

ps: but thanks for the tip. i actually didn't think about /etc/make.conf.
i haven't yet checked if this is a valid fix, though.
