Thanks for the response.  I don't know why anybody would want to remove 
show-depends-options.

I am in FreeBSD now, can't actually run anything in pkgsrc, but I can access 
that partition/directory.

I ran cvs up -dP and looked at the two files mentioned, which I access as 
/BETA1/pkgsrc/mk/bsd.options.mk and
/BETA1/pkgsrc/mk/misc/show.mk , both before and after.

I notice show-depends-options is headed by .PHONY .
What effect would that have on "make show-depends-options"?

Seeing those options is useful for showing options where there are many 
dependencies, as in
modular-xorg and gnumeric, and hplip.

I don't know any other command that would duplicate the functionality of "make 
show-depends-options".
