 FreeBSD ports repository

 Added files:
   .                    KNOBS
 Log:
 - Add KNOBS, this file has a list of popular knobs with a short
   description of what the knob is and does. The intent is to
   help porters keep like-name knobs through out the ports tree
   and end-users have a single file they can look up knobs in.

Limitations to KNOBS: In the future we plan to add support for OPTIONS to support the KNOBS file, and so dialog(1) will be able to handle the
    size of each knob knob-name's are limited to 12 characters and
knob-descriptions are limited to 45 characters, not including the
    white space between the knob-name and knob-description.

Naming knobs: When a port has a lib-prefix (ie: libquicktime, libxine)
    the lib-prefix should be stripped from the knob name.
    (ie: QUICKTIME, XINE)

 Based around:   brain storm ideas from mezz and I
 Approved by:    portmgr

 Revision  Changes    Path
 1.1       +91 -0     ports/KNOBS (new)

Am I the only person who couldn't stop sniggering when they read this?
Just wonder why this is funny? I don't see what it is.

Oh, it's the word "knob", that's all.  It's an extremely juvenile slang
term for the penis here in .uk, but that didn't stop me giggling at a
mail full of knobs.
Imagine how .au guys feels about receiving mail from Charlie *Root* every day? ;-)
