If a person maintains 100 packages and decides to start creating deltas,
I would think he would prefer to add xdelta to makepkg.conf rather than
to 100 different PKGBUILDs.

In regards to the patch, I looked back through makepkg and noticed that
check_option checks the PKGBUILD first then makepkg.conf. I was thinking
that check_option only checked the PKGBUILD. I might resubmit the patch
after I test it.
