Will we have the ability to do something like the following?:

FLAVORS=MYSQL REDIS NOTLS
FLAVOR_MYSQL_OPTIONS_ENABLE= MYSQL
FLAVOR_REDIS_OPTIONS_ENABLE= REDIS
FLAVOR_NOTLS_OPTIONS_DISABLE= TLS

I envision (at least for my ports) this being something very common.

I assume that the current code will already permit us to do something 
like the following:

.if ${FLAVOR} == MYSQL
OPTIONS_DEFAULT+= MYSQL
.endif


-r
