I'm getting a little confused.  There must be some discussion of this in
another thread.  It may be that in some places I've defined a variable
within a variant and it doesn't pass into the post-destroot of that variant,
so even though the syntax appears to wrap the post-destroot within the
variant, that's not actually what happens.  That is, this fails:

variant foo {
  set myPortLibPath ${prefix}/lib/myPort
  configure.args-append  LIB=${myPortLibPath}
  ...
  post-destroot {
     move ${build.dir}/bin/*.dylib ${myPortLibPath}
  }
}


However, I think what your saying is that this works for both the variant
and the post-destroot, without global:

set myPortLibPath ${prefix}/lib/myPort

variant foo {
  configure.args-append  LIB=${myPortLibPath}
  ...
  post-destroot {
     move ${build.dir}/bin/*.dylib ${myPortLibPath}
  }
}


Thanks, Darren
