I agree, but silently thinking OH NO! this brings us back to the discussions
from a view months ago...

If I understand correct the LATE_(UN)SET parameter can be used inside the port
after including bsd.port.options.mk (where I really miss it) and CMD_(UN)SET
from the command line.

I'm fine with the naming if we can get them in, and as long we do not force
the users to use "OVERRIDE_SET/UNSET" monsters on the command line.
