 Thread [https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2013-August/023788.html here].

 I would like to be able to globally disable startupitem.autostart (with a
 conf setting) just to protect against the possibility that someone has
 it enabled for something that gets installed as a dependency that I don't
 actually want running [it would be cool if the implementation of
 the global 'off' switch for this automatically added a note (or at least a
 ui_msg) that says what would have been run, or what needs to be run to
 'complete' the install].
