I got the point. In fact, son-of-PR 64233 has a variable (DISABLE_CONFIG,
I'm not exactly sure), which you can set in /etc/make.conf when you want
default options by default.

Try it. Post a patch.

Sofar, sogood. I guess it would be much clearer if we had a prototype
patch to see clearly what you have in mind. Be aware though, that
OPTIONS handling is not as easy as it seems.
