Well, I just tracked down the details for sysutils/tmux. I picked it
because it was at the bottom of the list.

I checked every update to the port going back to the version when the
options file was created, 1.9a_1. Comparing that to the current version,
there have been no options changes at all. Not to the options offered nor
to the defaults. I am baffled as to what is going on. Looks like portmaster
might be doing this a bit better than synth does.
