Configure port options as usual. It should look and work the same as

I've set this in my make.conf and tried it out. It's really cool.
Would be nice to see this get more testing and possibly be set as default.

This whets my virtual appetite, I'd like to try.
But does this avoid the problem of getting messed up with the dialog when
generating a log file with script or
make install clean | & tee build.log ?
Probably not. I'm not sure if either dialog or dialogwrapper can do
anything about what goes into a teed file.
I noticed on http://www.freshports.org/commits.php just a day ago,
devel/cdialog and x11/xdialog.
Maybe xdialog avoids this messing up when generating a log file, but can only
be used after xorg is built and installed.
Either of these may be better than the dialog(1) in base. But one of
the goals of dialogwrapper was to not need anything extra that would
have to be installed from ports.
