  Which kind of users do you want to help out with this?  Users that
use binary repositories on ftp.NetBSD.org?  If so, the logic should be
build from source if the computed PKG_OPTIONS differs from
PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS.

  If you use PKG_OPTIONS != PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS, the logic is simple
enough to put it in (or near) bin-install.

  Yes, please, make it switchable off!  Users that build binary
package repository with custom options should still be able to use
them with bin-install.  Yes, they will have to take care about
rebuilding packages with changed options themselves.
