personally, I'm annoyed by ports that use OPTIONS because I cannot  
then set them globally in my make.conf file (which is copied around  
to all my servers).  I have to ensure that the proper OPTIONS are set  
on every machine on which I may build a port.

Is it possible (and/or is anyone working on) a way to make the  
options setting non-interactive and pull the settings from a config  
file instead?
