 consider removing gcc34.

 Right, I was taking this as an implied requirement :-)

 {{{
 $ port echo depends:gcc34
 algae
 mipsel-linux-uclib
 p5-extutils-f77
 pgplot
 py-scipy03
 mercury
 }}}
 (depends: is a trunk feature)

 As 'port depends' uses the PortIndex only, this does not take variants
 into account.

 But most of them listed only need g77, which could be used from gcc4x as
 well. Also, most of them don't have a maintainer.
 {{{
 $ port info --name --depends --maintainer depends:gcc34
 }}}
 shows details (again, trunk only).

 Currently these ports are not usable without a working gcc34 build. So
 either we need to fix gcc34 or we have to investigate the dependencies of
 these ports, switch them to another compiler version or if there is no
 other possibility remove them, too.
