These two changes make it very easy to fix the bug I reported in
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11891 (variants 
ignored in deps action). All that has to happen is that the code Mr. 
Ballard put into action_info for this purpose be shared by action_deps, 
and I have submitted a patch to ticket 11891 which does just that. 
Hopefully  the patch will help get that ticket resolved.

    Thanks very much,
