Trust me, since I rebuild from scratch all the time, I quite remember when options were first added and I'd kick off a build of kde or some such overnight and check my screen session in the morning only find it hadn't build hardly anything b/c it had popped up the option screen for gettext. :)
Me, too, really :-) But kde3 meta-port doesn't use the OPTIONS framework, even if it displays the dialog box. And when the OPTIONS framework was added, very few ports actually used it, so it was very very rare to incur in *direct* dependencies between two OPTIONS-enabled ports. The kde4 meta-port now uses it, so it became obvious that something wasn't working as expected when you tried to build it.
I wonder why it has to be this hackish btw. Could config-conditional simply be in the list of targets before 'fetch' or some such?
I thought the same thing, probably yes, but I dunno why it was added in such way from the beginning, so I tried to create the simplest and surely working patch maintaining the current workflow.
