Comment:

 There are three main differences with the new patch:
 * universal_variant no still works, and can be applied to all ports that
 don't support +universal.
 * it uses the new universal_* settings in macports.conf. As a consequence,
 it can build custom combination of universal binaries, such as "i386
 x86_64", instead of only doing i386 ppc). It also can build against 10.5
 sdk.
 * it provides some group support for universal variants for tuning
 individual ports that may require it.

 There are still issues with ports that are built +universal by default or
 with projects that do not like ARCHS options. But I believe these issues
 are rather related to individual ports, not to the portgroup which cannot
 solve all problems anyway.
