                     14: An important part of a *binary-only* environment is to support something similar
                     15: to the existing options framework, but produce different combinations of pkgs.
                     16: 
                     17: There is an undefined amount of work required to accomplish this, and also a set
                     18: of standards and naming conventions to be applied for the output of these pkgs.
                     19: 
                     20: This project should also save on having to rebuild "base" components of software
                     21: to support different options: see amanda-base for an example.
                     22: 
                     23: OpenBSD supports this now and should be leveraged heavily for borrowing.

        !            28: complete the project the following tasks need to be accomplished:
        !            29: 
        !            30:  - Complete the `SUBPACKAGES` support similar to what was done during
        !            31:    the GSoC (with `SUBPACKAGES` and `!SUBPACKAGES` case code duplication)
        !            32:  - When the `SUBPACKAGES` support is complete we can switch to an
        !            33:    implicit (and hidden) subpackage as suggested by [[joerg|users/joerg]] in
        !            34:    order to get rid of code duplication and having a single control
        !            35:    flow relative to `SUBPACKAGES`. In other words: every package
        !            36:    will always have at least one subpackage.
        !            37:  - Adapt `mk/bsd.debugdata.mk` to `SUBPACKAGES` and other possible
        !            38:    other candidates like `tex-*-doc`, etc. After doing that look
        !            39:    at less trivial possible `SUBPACKAGES` candidate like
        !            40:    `databases/postegresql*-*`.
