I don't know frotz so I have no idea what the differences are but we could
decide to have more OPTIONS or FLAVOURS (pretty new facility in FreeBSD ports)
if really needed. I wonder why DUMB is optional really - it does not take
much to build I guess so it could always be shipped (or never if one feels so).

One can always decided to ship the tools with "all batteries included"
- I don't know what the users really want. Sadly this port has no maintainer
who would probably knew more.

can you add -N ? otherwise we only get:
