Yes, we need to document this better.

There are currently at least three+ places build options are documented:

make.conf(5)
examples/etc/make.conf
various Makefiles

...and none of them are complete.

A new source of information is the output of my build_options survey:

	http://phk.freebsd.dk/misc/build_options/

(still in progress, there are ~200 options to test in total and they
take about 1 hour each.)

Anyone who has time to try to improve the documentation based on
the above information is more than welcome.
