:OTOH, bending backwards to support FreeBSD ports structure is going a bit
:against logic in my opinion.

:Besides, we are tripping a lot more issues recently than just these simple
:matters. We _do_ need to move to our own system slowly by now.

:Yes, if we keep going under the FreeBSD banner with ports we build on a ton
:more ports, but OTOH, fixes for DF will almost never truly tested if we rip
:the FreeBSD name out and get stuff filtered upstream.

Yes, I agree, but I don't want to just break ports that were working
before for no good reason. Since any new code should use the long-form
of the option instead of the short form, I think we can safely make
-b be compatible with the old patch's -b.
