| Close.  What you need is actually something more like:
|
| 'databases/php4-dba' => [ 'WITH_CDB=true', 'WITHOUT_DB4=true',
| 'WITHOUT_GDBM=true', 'WITH_INIFILE=true', 'WITH_FLATFILE=true', ],
|
| Although since those variables are defined for you via the OPTIONS
| mechanism (ie. you get one of those pop-up menus) you can
| alternatively just run 'make config' in the databases/php4-dba
| directory, and the values you choose will be remembered for you
| whenever you update that port.  However, that's just another option
|  and setting stuff in pkgtools.conf should do the trick equally
| well.

Ahhah! So when I'm parsing through things like Makefiles that have
menus which say things like:

OPTIONS=        CDB "cdb database support" on \
~                DB4 "Berkeley DB4 support" off \
~                GDBM "GDBM database support" off \
~                INIFILE "INI file support" on \
~                FLATFILE "flatfile support" on

I should parse that as:

WITH_* and WITHOUT_*

(I'm learnin..I'm learnin! hehe)

Thanks, Matthew!!!!

Best,
Glenn
