I've ran into this sort of problem from time to time. How do you find and specify options in those ports that don't present a banner. For example, the php4 port has many options listed in the Makefile.ext file, but it's not clear how to turn these on. I looked through the ports docs again and I don't see anything like "make showoptions". Can someone give me a clue?

To find "WITH" type options I just do the following:
cat Makefile | grep WITH
Hope this helps some...

We should really have a standard file/section to denote these options in an easily readable format. We cant assume
that normal users are going to open up the Makefile and look around aimlessly for them. anyways, just my 2 cents.
