Any generic way to identify packages that were built other than the 
defaults?

I don't see anything.

The reason I am asking is for a tool for doing package updates. I want it 
to warn or stop if the package installed or to-be installed isn't built 
with defaults (is custom built).

For example, my apache is built with suexec and custom 
APACHE_SUEXEC_DOCROOT. I do not want an update to think it is okay to 
replace a package with one that is built with defaults (without me 
overriding or asking first).

I don't think it is necessary to have fine-tuned checks, such as for 
PKG_OPTIONS=suexec or APACHE_SUEXEC_DOCROOT (which is not even recorded in 
binary).

But just something generic like:

CUSTOM=true

Maybe that could be set if PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS doesn't match 
PKG_OPTIONS, but that may be hard if things are in different order.

And I don't know how to easily check if things like APACHE_SUEXEC_DOCROOT 
are defined pkgsrc-wide. So individually do things like:
.ifdef APACHE_SUEXEC_DOCROOT
CUSTOM=true
BUILD_DEFS+=	CUSTOM
.endif

Any comments?

p.s. Okay to commit the following (even though 
APACHE_SUEXEC_CONFIGURE_ARGS includes APACHE_SUEXEC_DOCROOT)?
