For the finicky fink user, it would be nice to be able to inspect and modify the configuration options at build time - so something like
% fink finicky-install lynx-ssl
These options will be passed to configure:
--enable-nls --with-screen=ncurses --disable-full-paths --enable-file-upload --enable-internal-links --libdir=%p/etc --mandir=%p/share/man --with-ssl
Is this OK? [Y/n] n
[Since I said "no", Fink shows all configuration options, lets me edit the string to pass to configure.]
Next you must ask for the dependencies and build dependencies which might need to be modified due to the different configuration options. Doing so, you will have to check the conflicts and replace fields and so on. You are asking for an interactive mode for creating package files... In addition it violates the fink policy that a deb file with a given name/version/revision should be identical regardless how and where it was built.
If you want to have different configuration options, edit the package file (that's not so hard). Then either discuss it with the maintainer if these changes could be incorporated into the 'official' package file or if a variant package file should be provided, f.e. lynx-cookies.
