>Description:
databases/php-dba has many options that can only be set by editing the
Makefile.  Seems like it would be a candidate for the options framework.  Example:

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-cdb
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-db2
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-db3
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-dbm

.if exists(/usr/include/ndbm.h)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-gdbm
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-ndbm=/usr
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-gdbm=${BUILDLINK_PREFIX.gdbm}
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-ndbm
.include "../../databases/gdbm/buildlink3.mk"
.endif

The gdbm vs ndbm assumption seems not useful, since gdbm is much more
capable than ndbm; I want it even though my machine has ndbm.

Also, I think cdb at least should always be enabled since it's an
internal-to-php-dba implementation with no dependencies.

It would be great to be able to choose desired backends with the
options framework.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ pwd
/usr/pkgsrc/databases/php-dba
$ make show-options
This package does not use the options framework.
