On pkgsrcCon 2005, I suggested PKG_VARIANTS to Johnny, but I did not 
even start work on it. For the Midnight Commander, a Makefile fragment 
could look like:

PKG_VARIANTS=                       ncurses all_features
PKG_VARIANT_OPTIONS.all_features=   samba x11
PKG_VARIANT_OPTIONS.ncurses=        -slang ncurses

I would suggest that we separate the variant using an underscore, not a 
hyphen. So the lines above would result in the following binary packages:

mc-4.6.1.tar.gz
mc_all_features-4.6.1.tar.gz
mc_ncurses-4.6.1.tar.gz
