Comment:

 The ability to generate TeX documentation is a feature of doxygen ... it's
 used beyond just the manual.

 MacPorts has a general policy to install everything by default, and the
 TeX dependencies are in place so that doxygen users can generate other
 forms of documentation. The idea is that the default install can do
 everything supported by the upstream package.

 I don't like the idea of subtraction by variant, but that's something to
 accept given the policy as well as the problems handling default variants.

 Although I have to admit I configured doxygen without TeX all the time
 before the ports system arrived. :)
