I'm wondering though if using OPTIONS here will look a bit overwhelming as if 
one knows what to select there will only be a couple of drivers selected 
(mostly 3) amongst 59 currently available options. Perhaps using a variable 
like "WITH_X_DRIVERS=keyboard mouse vga" in make.conf might be more 
appropriate for this particular case?
