Hi,

I understand one can compile the email client Pine with an option 
PASSFILE=<some file name> to enable the option of saving your mail account 
passwords. The Pine website talks about it and so do many sites all over 
the net.

FreeBSD's ports do not seem to offer such an option. I went through the 
Pine Makefile, however, and I see that the "EXTRA_OPTS" variable is what's 
used to compile Pine with extra configurable options.

So my question is this: if I want to compile Pine from ports with this 
PASSFILE option, can I do something like the following in 
/usr/ports/mail/pine4?

# make EXTRA_OPTS+=PASSFILE=.pine.pwd install

I used the "+=" coz I got the got the impression that adds onto the 
existing extra options. And if I want to make this permanent, can I define 
it in /etc/make.conf accordingly?

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/pine4}
EXTRA_OPTS+=	PASSFILE=.pine.pwd
.endif

Regards,
Rakhesh
