 That is a good point, I also think that since OPTIONS is the recommended 
 method for adding user interaction to ports, We should expand on its 
 functionality. Perhaps add support for submenu's such as those that are 
 used in sysinstall. This would allow port maintainers to use both 
 checklists and radiolists side by side.
