using OPTIONS_UNSET and BATCH=yes when compiling apps

[mrjayviper]

Hello. I just discovered OPTIONS_UNSET today. I have been using

BATCH=yes

because I'm too lazy to manually configure every port required to do the build.

Anyway, my question is in relation to how the two options operate together. If I say

OPTIONS_UNSET=X11

and also used

BATCH=yes

at the same time, does that mean FreeBSD will automatically choose the port's option/features BUT disable any X11-related features in the port configuration? E.g. net-p2p/deluge requires X11 as it's a GUI application. But it also has a daemon-only application. So using what I said above, I would hopefully get only the daemon-only application. (This also requires GTK but I only used X11 to make the example simple).

Thanks very much
