I don't need DOCS, EXAMPLES etc. for each port as I normaly do not

I have this line in make.conf

Now I need www/xcache port installed with EXAMPLES.
I tried following in make.conf:
xcache_SET= EXAMPLES
or
xcache_SET_FORCE= EXAMPLES
In both cases, xcache is installed without EXAMPLES.
So how can I have globally disabled EXAMPLES and enable it only for
one specific port?
After some testing, I think this could be a bug in the handling of
PORTEXAMPLES / PORTDOCS, since flipping EXAMPLES / DOCS options (and
any other options I tried) with these switches works as expected.
I'll try and have a go at this.
[...]
If a port does not explicitly define an option for a feature in its
Makefile, then a port specific setting for that option has no effect,
since it simply doesn't match against the options defined in the ports
Makefile.
IOW: If a port does not explicity define an EXAMPLES option, then a
port specific SET or UNSET for the EXAMPLES option in /etc/make.conf
has no effect.
Consequently, in the case of www/xcache, simply adding a dummy EXAMPLE
option to OPTIONS_DEFINE makes xcache_SET_FORCE=EXAMPLES work as
expected: It installs examples, overriding OPTIONS_UNSET_FORCE.
Depending on ones point of view, one could say, that this works as
advertised. But it's confusing and robs us of port specific _FORCE
flags in certain cases.
One possible solution could be, to have Mk/bsd.options.mk detect the
use of PORTEXAMPLES and PORTDOCS in a port, and then silently
translate these into DOCS / EXAMPLES options (adding them to
${COMPLETE_OPTIONS_LIST}), if they're not present.
Without them popping up in a dialog, since that would be the
maintainers domain, and without persisting them, of course.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around these parts of the ports
system, though, in order to not accidentially break things.

PS: I'm taking bapt@ out of the loop again, until we're either
completely stuck or are able to produce a patch.
I think I found a more simple way to do this. Could you please try the
attached patch ?
I can confirm the success. Tested on FreeBSD 9.3-RC1.
With your patch and following lines in make.conf
OPTIONS_UNSET= X11 GUI CUPS DOCS EXAMPLES NLS
xcache_SET= EXAMPLES
examples are installed for xcache port.
Thank you very much!
I hope it will be accepted by ports mgr and committed soon.
