[SOLVED] Is there any way for a PKGBUILD to read the complete options?

How can the build() function of a PKGBUILD read the complete options array, as set by both /etc/make.conf AND the PKGBUILD itself?

I tried to read $options, but that only worked when I set options in the PKGBUILD; it did not show anything from /etc/makepkg.conf

I need this because the package I am writing a PKGBUILD for has configure options that enable/disable documentation and optimization and such, which should be controlled by the 'docs', 'debug', and 'strip' options.

makepkg uses this function:

##
# Checks to see if options are present in makepkg.conf or PKGBUILD;
# PKGBUILD options always take precedence.
#
#  usage : check_option( $option )
# return : y - enabled
#          n - disabled
#          ? - not found
##
check_option() {

Excellent

Perhaps this should be in some documentation?  It seems quite useful.
