Yes, it would be better if the dep had subports.<br>
<br>
What would be better (ie good “portiqette”)… Adding subports
(keeping the variants), or replacing variants with subports?<br>

To pass along a variant for a dependency, without having to add in when
you install.
How do you do that? …or is there really no other way than adding it
during “port install”.
One /would/ like to do:
```
depends_lib.append port:first \
port:second +foo_bar \
port:third
```
// That doesn't work, but as a visual for the question.
I tried adding an extra variant with the same name and set to default,
but no luck.
Any ideas? or is it just not possible?
