Having generic options and package options is cool. Naming the options
for the package feels a bit clunky. Some options may not be used in
another package now, but could in the future, so it will lead to lots of
duplication (--php-foo --pear-foo --etc-foo) and extra typing.
Perhaps leave the option named --foo, but have it only available inside
the packages that use it? When used for a package that doesn't utilize
that option, a warning could be issued.
These are just thoughts. Take them or leave them. No big deal.
Thanks,
