Why make it a variant and then make it the default? This makes it  
hard for anyone to deselect the variant since MacPorts does not  
record negative variants in the registry. If you want the feature  
enabled by default but want a way for people to disable it, code the  
portfile to enable the feature, and then have a "no_graph" variant to  
remove it.
