Hi,

I think that ports-mgmt/portconf (a.k.a. /usr/local/etc/ports.conf) is a
very handy feature that makes it much easier to store port options
across upgrade.  Is there a reason behind not making it into
bsd.ports.mk?  IMHO it's a big deal to take the script into
ports/Tools/scripts, and move the configuration to somewhere like
/etc/ports.conf...

Cheers,
