  Added files:
    .                    KNOBS 
  Log:
  - Add KNOBS, this file has a list of popular knobs with a short
    description of what the knob is and does. The intent is to
    help porters keep like-name knobs through out the ports tree
    and end-users have a single file they can look up knobs in.
  
  Limitations to KNOBS: In the future we plan to add support for OPTIONS
     to support the KNOBS file, and so dialog(1) will be able to handle the
     size of each knob knob-name's are limited to 12 characters and
     knob-descriptions are limited to 45 characters, not including the
     white space between the knob-name and knob-description.
  
  Naming knobs: When a port has a lib-prefix (ie: libquicktime, libxine)
     the lib-prefix should be stripped from the knob name.
     (ie: QUICKTIME, XINE)
  
  Based around:   brain storm ideas from mezz and I
