That's of course opinion :) My POV was that if you type 'make options'
you should get a detailed overview. One of the reasons to implement this
target for xmame was that it has too many options, and people should be
able to choose between them, not having to guess what they do.

files/pkg-opts is, that's what the Makefile does.
