That would be optimal. However, I wouldn't get too excited about putting things in the base system. There's no reason for that to be necessary -- we can simply have bsd.port.mk depend on a port being installed to support this feature. That way, systems that have already been released can have their cake and eat it too. > i've written a config file for my mail/sylpheed-claws port to show how > that options stuff could be done. comments appreciated. > > http://corecode.ath.cx/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ports/options/ Looks ok. Though I don't understand the need for a "version" line. What are "sel", "msel", and "text"?
