Soliciting feedback on variant description syntax and reporting

[James Berry]

to follow up on my solicitation, based on feedback (and/or lack of  
other good alternatives), I've decided:

	(1) to keep the variant description syntax:

	(2) To move output of variant descriptions from "port info" to "port  
variants". So "port info" will continue to show which variants you  
have, but to find out more about them you'll need to do a "port  
variants" too.


If you strongly disagree with any of these actions, please speak up.  
The code in trunk currently implements what I've described above.
