 I submitted a new port "TeXworks" (Ticket #16055). This port needs port
 "poppler" with Qt4 bindings, but the current port of poppler has disabled
 by default the build of the Qt4 bindings. Therefore I added a variant qt4.

 I studied the port "poppler" in greater detail and realized that much more
 dependencies to other ports exists, than in the portfile are registered.
 With the command line tool "otool" I checked the dependencies and added
 the ports to depends_lib.

 The portfile of "poppler" is written in such a way, as to provide you with
 a maximal installation. But the port "TeXworks" does neither need port
 "XFree86" nor "GTK2". Therefore I added more variants: qt3Splash,
 qt4Splash, glibSplash, glibCairo, and abiword. Each of these variants
 provides you with a minimal installation. Of course, these variants can be
 combined, but not with variant "qt4". Variant "qt4" is for maximal
 installation of poppler and therefore contradicts to the other variations.
