You got that one on the wrong side. I'm not talking about the
interactive configuration. That can be avoided by BATCH. But since you
would have to put the options in make.conf anyway to make them work with
portinstall, what's the point of OPTIONS then?

Anyway, they don't cause me pain. And I hope it stays the same for
OPTIONSng :)
