I talked with Xavier about this last night and think it is a good and 
consistent way to handle all the options now available in makepkg.conf.  
And my spelling of "pugre" needs improving!  I hadn't realized he 
actually went with the patch title I suggested...

Xavier: I dont know how to split my patches now
Xavier: I have typo fixes
Xavier: documentation clarification
Xavier: and a unimportant bugfix
Xavier: and a rework of the OPTIONS handling
Xavier: lol
Allan: one big patch entitled "fix a lot of breakages caused by Allan"  
Xavier: sounds perfect
