Confusion about devel/py-yaml options

IMHO the sole purpose of this port is providing YAML support to python,
yet it defines
OPTIONS_DEFINE= YAML
which is not enabled by default and shown to the user as
[ ] YAML YAML format or parser support
As far as I can tell this option enables the libyaml plugin in PyYAML.
LibYAML is written in C and as a result PyYAML is supposed to run
paster/nicer etc. Unfortunately the current option name doesn't make
this clear and probably should be overridden to say something like "Use
libYAML plugin for faster YAML parsing".
Cheers,
Michael
