port should not complain about +universal, CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, configure.universal_cflags-append/configure.universal_ldflags-append

[Elias Pipping]

Let's wait for official support of +universal with that...

eventually the whole if clause will be gone anyway.

I mean really, there's worse problems than obsolete warnings,  
especially with gettext. e.g. gettext +universal is somehow  
incomplete: all the libasprintf-related files are missing completely.  
diff the results of port contents with and without +universal and see  
for yourself (ideas, patches appreciated)

see also http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/~pipping/macports/universal for  
a list of such problems.

Regards

Elias
