You are right. this was kept as part of the translation of make to cmake in 
case it was required to fallback. I think we are now completely using the 
kamailio flavour and this option can be removed of course.

Ahh good catch. The description was before it was allowed for multiple groups, 
so i offered them as a list to choose from. After adding the option for 
multiple, this should be refined. I will take a look at it ofc.

Yeah i noticed that as well. Will be fixed.

Hmm, Those four are offered by cmake indeed with more or less standard options 
appropriate to them. I think we can add the `None`, to allow for specific build 
options provided by the user and nothing more. I will need to read a bit more 
on this, to see how to implement it.

I had the same notion as well. I find it a bit confusing indeed but for easier 
adaptation and to keep same configuration options as before, i kept them as is. 

Probably the best is to use the easiest for most of people with positive 
meaning like "USE_*" or "ENABLE_" and therefore value `ON` means enabled and 
`OFF` means disabled.

In our case, `NO_DEV_POLL`= `ON` means dev polling is disabled, which is a bit 
confusing. 

If more people agree on this, we can adopt it.
