NetBSD already has package specific options for many packages.

Tell us more on how the FLAVOR system can help. If I understand correctly,
it makes it so you can have a setting that is applicable for multiple
packages.

Can you provide some examples of using FLAVOR(S) with NetBSD's pkgsrc and
how it would make things easier?

(Also MULTI_PACKAGES looks interesting for creating multiple packages of
same package each with different configs.)
