Comment (by rhwood at macports.org):

 Replying to [comment:9 jens.traube at t-online.de]:
 > I am new to MacPorts and still do not have the practice with what you
 call "developed best practices for handling variants".
 > Also, I am about to revise my port enhancements, but do not have time
 for it on every day.
 > At last, you can see, that Rainer Mueller asked me yesterday some
 questions and today I prepared my answers.

 Best practices are documented in the guide, to which you referred to, and
 you replied "I am sorry, but I do not want to start this task again. I
 spent a lot of time to think about this port. And the result is a working
 port, I tested that. You do not like my solution, that's a pity. Feel free
 to take it or ignore it."

 I apologize for having taken you at your word.

 I do understand your functions, but I do not understand what wrapping the
 documented instructions for modifying dependency lists and configuration
 arguments in new functions buys you other than a difficult to maintain and
 difficult to read port.
