Nothing has been written in stone yet about this, because the priority was to
convert ports to new options framework first, to be able to kill KNOBS etc and
then to work on converting NOPORTDOCS, NOPORTEXAMPLES and WITHOUT_NLS, that is
why I told Gabor he can do what ever he thinks is best in that case.

Of course converting now NOPORTDOCS to PORT_OPTIONS:DOCS, NOPORTEXAMPLES to
PORT_OPTIONS:MEXAMPLES and NLS to PORT_OPTIONS:MNLS brings more consistency so I
personnaly thinks it is preferable.

So last reason for not having pushed yet a rule on that is, that NOPORTDOCS,
NOPORTEXAMPLES and WITHOUT_NLS are specified on lots of documentation that needs
to be updated and I have currently no time for that.

That is another area that is open to volunteer btw :)

Bapt
