           Summary: sysutils/screen: Custom system-wide screenrc should
                    not be installed by default
           Product: Ports & Packages

A custom system-wide screenrc was added to sysutils/screen back in November of
2014, as ports r373436.

The option to install the custom screenrc is enabled by default, so that option
is built with the package as well.

The custom screenrc is not a patched version of the upstream screenrc, but a
replacement screenrc with different options set and zero comment documentation.

For comparison, here is the upstream stock screenrc:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/tree/src/etc/screenrc

And here is the custom screenrc that is installed by default on freebsd now:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/screen/files/screenrc.sample?view=markup&pathrev=373436

As someone who hops around on different platforms, it is confusing to have
screen's default configuration be so drastically different on freebsd.

Could we remove SYSTEM_SCREENRC from OPTIONS_DEFAULT so that screen's behavior
is consistent with upstream unless otherwise requested during compile?  Thanks!
