Besides I might change some naming here, (not much) this looks a really clever
way of bringing the features much more clever than what I could have been
thinking of. Thank you very much, I do some testing on it soon.

what I like is having a complete text to describe options, and not being 
limited to per option description.
On the change I'll just change OPTIONS_DESCR to OPTIONS_HELP and
pkg-options-descr to options-help

Thank you very much for the patch!

regards,
Bapt
