Since your 2/4 did away with the "plink" and "tortoiseplink" values in
favor of "port_option" and "batch_option", there is a duplication of logic
which I tried to undo in v3 and which you reintroduce in your fixup.

Maybe that refactoring was not so smart to begin with, and we should have
instead modified the code to use an enum instead and keep the original
conditionals instead of setting a port_option and a batch_option
explicitly.

Ciao,
