I'd say "typical" install is the default install.
The concept of "all" options is probably wrong,
because many ports have exclusive options, i.e.
if you choose WITH_A, then you cannot also choose
WITH_B. This is very clear in the new options framework.
For some ports not all options are available via
"make config". Other options can be set up on line,
or via Makefile.local. It is a very flexible framework.

AFAIK these are built with default options.
