Default +universal variant for configure-based ports

	Among all the things I would like to discuss about this thread (but 
not having much time at the moment to delve into them), just this small 
note:

	This is strange:

-> grep universal PortIndex
(...)
variants {universal puredarwin darwin_6} depends_build port:pkgconfig 
portdir devel/glib2 description (...)
(...)

-> port info glib2
glib2 2.12.9, devel/glib2 (Variants: puredarwin, darwin_6)
(...)

	So the index *is* picking up the new universal variants but our info 
command is not listing them, for some reason (and, in fact, the index 
regen after Pauls's commit was *HUGE*!!!). Does 'info' not parse the 
index (and somehow reach directly for the Portfiles)? I don't remember 
at the moment... Now, as to whether or not we should list & advertise 
these variants, I'd say no until we have them working right out of the 
box for, at least, most ports (including corner cases) and Paul's work 
is integrated in released code.

	Just my thoughts,....
