What questions do you have about conflicting variants? I'll certainly  
try to answer them.

The example I submitted not only allows you to specify conflicting  
variants, but also allows the variants to be constructed  
programmatically, so that you don't have to repeat stuff in each  
variant, like you were doing, such as the description. Admittedly the  
variants themselves, from your previous portfile, are pretty simple;  
you don't gain as much by constructing them programmatically as the  
swig port did by doing so.
