>Description:
How OptionsNG could/should be used via make.conf, isn't documented in the Porters Handbook ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-options.html, under OPTIONS ), even though USE_* and KNOBS have sufficient developer and end-user examples for using them.

The best comprehensive example for using OptionsNG I found was on the forums: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=34019 .

Basically, it would be nice for there to be a Makefile in ports that's used as a template for the explanation and would be worked into a full blown "here is how you tweak the port options via the command-line/make.conf" explanation.
