The default behavior of ports-mgmt/poudriere is to open the dialog to set OPTIONS
for each selected port (targets) and all its dependencies, unless they were 
already set.

Issuing 'poudriere options -n' will just open the dialog to the target(s) and not its 
dependencies. Again, but for those which already have OPTIONS set.

The -c flag in 'poudriere options' delete the previous selected options to the
specified target(s) and open the dialog to set them again - what may include
dependencies without OPTINOS set already.

-C will delete the target OPTIONS and all its dependencies.
