I've had instances where I've had to do a 'make rmconfig' to have
FreeBSD's ports system re-display the config menu.  Else, it can just
remember the previous selection if any, or that has been the behavior
in the past at least.  Could be a target of 'make clean' these
days...or always has been?

There is also  'make showconfig', and 'make config-recursive' which
are probably somewhat self-explanatory (assuming consideration of
dependency trees and long compile times) but are handy to know about.
If I'm being extra careful to adequately document things for some
reason, the output of 'make showconfig' makes this less tedious for
me.

There are likely different and better options, but these are the one's
I've used for years.  It's also worth note that not all of the options
implemented by the distribution can be expected to have the handy
'ports' configuration management built around them.  It depends on
what the maintainer thought important I believe.

Thanks,

 - Tom
