Well that goes for the other knobs as well of course -- WITH_PERL,
WITH_PYTHON and other programming extension languages come to mind, as
do NOPORTDOCS and WITHOUT_GUI (there are some things that I don't need
a GUI for on my desktop).

My verdict is that the unification of the knob name outweighs the
expense of having to use conditionals in make.conf or equivalent.
