# Optionally, the user may define the following variables in /etc/mk.conf:
#
#       PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
#               This variable can be used to override default
#               options for every package.  Options listed in this
#               variable will be enabled in every package that
#               supports them.  If you prefix an option with `-',
#               it will be disabled in every package.
