#40186: guide needs to be updated to reflect current compiler behavior

Component: guide | Version: 2.2.0

---------------------+---------------------
The guide currently says this about `configure.compiler`:
{{{
configure.compiler
Select a compiler suite to fill the compiler environment variables. All
variables/tools a compiler suite can provide are set. Manually set
variables are not overwritten. Dependencies are not added for you, as they
may be just build- or also run-dependencies. Keep in mind that not all
compiler suites might be available on your platform: gcc-3.3 is available
on Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4 PowerPC, gcc-4.0 is available on 10.4+, gcc-4.2
and llvm-gcc-4.2 are available on 10.5 and 10.6, and clang is available on
10.6.
Only use it if a port really needs a different compiler.
}}}
This is wrong as of MacPorts 2.2.0.
