This is incorrect. There is a clever method available to clean these
up. There is a script at Tools/scripts/redundant-opt-files.sh that is
used to identify saved options that are identical to the default
options. It also identifies option files for ports that don't exist.
You can remove all the obsolete and redundant options files in a single
command, e.g. "/usr/ports/Tools/scripts/redundant-opt-files.sh | xargs
rm -rf" which I think is pretty clever. But then again, I am biased.
