I also started working on this yesterday...  Looking at the code it is
probably also worth asking if portmaster needs to continue to support so
many binary package options.  Many of the options can be done directly
with 'pkg', and many of the use cases are probably better served by
poudriere, and many of them don't work with portmaster and pkgng anyway.
